Abstract
Kainic acid and related members of kainoid family are amino acid-terpene hybrid natural products with three stereocenters and promising bioactivities. Kainoids have been isolated from diverse marine and terrestrial organisms and all of them feature a 3-carboxymethyl proline and C-4 side chain. The decorative molecular structure and intriguing biological profile of kainic acid inspired the synthetic chemists in engineering the new protocol for its asymmetric total syntheses. This article provides an account of research on kainic acid and few selective kainic acid inspired molecules, including their isolation, total synthesis, biological and structure activity relationship (SAR) studies. Particularly, the synthetic endeavours towards the building of kainic acid reported during the period 2012 till mid 2015 have been highlighted.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
