AboutAbout the lab
Searching for drugs against tropical infectious diseases among compounds made by plants
The Mori-Yasumoto Lab conducts research in natural products chemistry, searching natural resources such as plants for compounds that could serve as the basis of treatments for tropical infectious diseases.
Plants have been deeply involved in human clothing, food, and shelter since ancient times, and have also served as a source of medicines.
Unknown chemical substances produced by plants may include some that can be used as drugs, and the lab particularly searches for compounds effective against hard-to-treat tropical infectious diseases.
The lab also works to elucidate the active compounds and functions of medicinal plants that have traditionally been used in medicine in tropical regions and elsewhere.
Key terms
- Tropical infectious diseases
- Infectious diseases that are a problem in tropical regions and elsewhere. The lab searches for plant compounds effective against those that are difficult to treat.
- Medicinal plants
- Plants that have traditionally been used in medicine. The lab works to elucidate their active compounds and functions.
- Natural products chemistry
- A field that isolates chemical substances produced by plants, marine organisms, and others, and studies their structures and functions

The lab examines the chemical compounds contained in natural resources, aiming to lead to treatments for hard-to-treat tropical infectious diseases. Using medicinal plants and marine organisms as materials, it searches for lead compounds for drugs to treat leishmaniasis.
*Illustrative imageSearching for lead compounds for drugs against tropical infectious diseases
The lab searches for plant compounds effective against intractable tropical infectious diseases, with the goal of leading to treatments. It also works to elucidate the active compounds and functions of medicinal plants that have traditionally been used in medicine in tropical regions and elsewhere.
*Illustrative imageSearching for compounds derived from marine organisms
The lab also searches for lead compounds for drugs to treat leishmaniasis among compounds derived from marine organisms. In addition to its search research on medicinal plants, it has been conducting search research on marine organisms since 2022.
