For these twenty years, our laboratory has developed the study on the functional search of isoprenoid glycosides from solanaceous and leguminous origins, certification of their efficacy, and the finding of the seeds for medicinal drugs. This just covers fundamental medicinal science and it is promoted with molecule and cell levels for elucidation of the role of the functional molecules in the appearance of pharmacological activities.
  1. Search for the functions of natural isoprenoid glycosides.
  2. Science of post -genome: study on the analysis of functions of glycosidic linkages.
  3. Analysis of anti-oxidant components and their application to phytotherapy
  4. Development of functional foods.
