The lab aims to develop agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals through the power of organic synthesis.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals through new chemical reactions
The Agrochemical Chemistry Lab develops new organic chemical reactions and synthetic methods to create substances with molecular skeletons never seen before.
Combining chemistry and biology, the lab conducts basic research that leads to the discovery of new chemical and biological phenomena, principles, and functions.
The lab also carries out applied research aimed at developing agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals that respond appropriately to environmental stress in animals and plants.
Lab visits are accepted at any time, and students from other universities can also join the study sessions for graduate school entrance exams.
Key terms
- Heteroatom
- An element other than carbon or hydrogen. This lab works with elements such as sulfur and phosphorus
- Transition metal catalyst
- A substance that uses a transition metal to help a chemical reaction proceed more easily
- Homogeneous catalytic reaction in water
- A reaction carried out in water, with the catalyst and starting materials dissolved together

ResearchResearch themes
Building on the development of organic chemical reactions and synthetic methods, the lab creates substances with new molecular skeletons and pursues research that connects chemistry and biology. In basic research, it aims to discover new chemical and biological phenomena, principles, and functions. In applied research, it works to develop agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals that respond to environmental stress in animals and plants.
*Illustrative imageCatalytic synthesis of heteroatom compounds
Placing heteroatoms such as sulfur and phosphorus appropriately within organic compounds makes it possible to precisely tune how biological activity and drug efficacy appear. Using transition metal catalysts, the lab develops new synthetic methods for organic heteroatom compounds that are important in the development of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
*Illustrative imageCatalytic reactions that modify proteins in water
The lab develops new catalytic reactions that reversibly modify proteins, which are important for biological functions, chemically. These are developed as homogeneous catalytic reactions in water.
*Illustrative imageDesign and creation of new bioactive compounds
The lab develops organic compounds that are highly compatible with living systems and can address many biological phenomena. It aims to develop agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals that respond appropriately to diverse, constantly changing environmental stresses.
