Congratulations to Paul, Galen and Colin for their work on the paper “Total Syntheses of the Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids Zephycandidine III and Lycosinine A and Their Evaluation as Inhibitors of Acetylcholinesterase”, which was recently accepted to the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. This collaboration with the Banwell Group (ANU) describes the total synthesis of the amaryllidaceae alkaloids Zephycandidine III and Lycosinine A. Contrary to an earlier study, these compounds are shown to be poor inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase.
