1 Basics of Primary and Secondary Metabolites March 27, 207 Young ae hoi atural Products Laboratory Institute of Biology, Leiden University Leiden, The etherlands Difficulty of at. Prod. Res.: Diversity of metabolites Metabolites in organisms - onstitutive metabolites : primary and secondary metabolites - on constitutive metabolites : phytoalexin - Exogenous metabolites : by other organism or chemicals about 250,000 natural products are known more than 3,500 metabolites in single plant about 4000 new ones are reported every year about 5% of all plants have been studied to some extend for their constituents

2 ADES Workshop - The st day (Introduction) atural Products Research: What to do and Where to go? Green Technology: DES, ILs and SFE Basic Phytochemistry - The 2nd day (Application of ADES) Sample Preparation and Analysis Application of ADES to atural Products Extraction - The 3rd day (Practice) ADES extraction of Flavonoid from Sophora japonica flowers The st day atural Products Research Green Technology Basic Phytochemistry ow, you have samples for metabolomics! 2

3 Basics of plant metabolites The st step of research to know about metabolites present in living organisms hemical characteristics of group of metabolites (carbohydrates, amino acids, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids ) detected by diverse analytical methods (UV, MS, MR) ommon metabolites (usual suspect) detected in plants Exceptional metabolites which show different analytical features from others Are you afraid of huge number of metabolites?
