Apicidin is a fungal metabolite with potent broad spectrum antiprotozoal activity in vitro and efficacy against Plasmodium bergheimalaria in mice. It is a potent HDAC inhibitor originally isolated from fermentations of the microbe Fusarium pallidoroseum (Costa Rica).
Let's go playback-in-time and rediscover how natural products developed throughout the history.
Learn here what are primary and secondary metabolites and how to they affect our life.

ASSIGNMENT!
To be passed before July 14, 2014
Each group of the two groups consisting of 11 students/group in our last activity will be divided again into 4 subgroups with at least 3 members.
Each subgroup of that group will select 1 organism between BACTERIA, FUNGI, ANIMAL and PLANT (first-come-first-serve basis).
The selected organism will be presented in an infomercial which should contains the source of the natural products, the compounds with structure, and its uses/harms.
In that video/infomercial, you'll be the presenter/chemist who are invited to present in Chemistry Appreciation Day. you'll be watched by high school students (if possible, assume that you have an interactive audience).
The Video will be graded according to the following standards;
The video/infomercial that will be produced by each subgroup will be posted in Youtube.
The link for each video will be posted in the following comment box;
