Dr Jason A Smith is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry and carries out research in the area of Organic Chemistry, designing and synthesising new molecules for Drug Discovery. He studies the role of organic molecules in living systems, such as determining the role of plant hormones in plant health and crop yield. Organic Chemistry plays a major role in improving society by developing new drugs to combat disease and understanding chemical processes of plants to improve food security.

Biography

Jason is a graduate of Flinders University of South Australia where he obtained both his BSc (Hons) and PhD. He has carried out post-doctoral research at Texas A&M (with Nobel Laureate Prof Sir Derek HR Barton) and at Australian National University (Prof Martin Banwell). In 1999 he received an AMRAD postdoctoral award and the RACI Athel Beckwith Lectureship in 2005.

Teaching expertise

Jason's area of teaching is in organic chemistry and includes the structure, shape and reactivity of organic molecules and methods for determining chemical structure. The role and connections of organic chemistry to other disciplines is highlighted in pharmaceutical sciences, medical applications, drug design and the role of organic molecules in nature and how nature produces important compounds.

Expertise

Jason's research activities focus on the development of new synthetic methodology and its application to the synthesis of biologically active or structurally complex molecules. This includes exploiting pyrrole as a molecular template for the rapid construction of alkaloids. Other research areas involve the development of new methods for carrying out demanding organic transformations, the determination of organic reaction mechanisms, applications in biosynthesis and the synthesis of potential drug candidates for particular diseases. A recent development in our laboratories has been the development of pressured hot water extraction (PHWE) for natural product isolation. Jason also has an active research program on the synthesis and roles of plant hormones.

Isolation and synthesis of potential new therapeutic agents from Hemp (Cannabis sativa) and their biological evaluation (2018 - 2021)$105,000

Description: Cannabis and cannabis extracts have been reported to have beneficial applications to many indications including the management of seizures, pain, cancer and appetite amongst others. One problem has been the illicit nature of the material which results in lack of control of the dose and chemical profile of material which can be due to different plant varieties, growing conditions, extraction preparation and mode of delivery. This project aims to adopt a drug discovery approach to provide solid evidence for the effect of different cannabinoids by isolating the individual components for thorough evaluation of any therapeutical applications. In this way, clear dose dependant activity can be studied and protocols for the prescription of cannabinoids can be developed that are in-line with modern pharmaceutical procedures. This will also be the start point for the development of novel semi-synthetic cannabinoids that will allow us to develop structure activity relationships for different indications. This potentially extends the scope of the medicinal cannabis industry to be a raw material for the synthesis of active non-natural derivates similar to the semi-synthetic opiates.

Acoustic liquid handling robotics for bioactive compound discovery (2017)$315,000

Description: The proposal aims to incorporate enhanced robotic liquid handling capability into the workflow of CompoundsAustralia to further accelerate world-class research towards bioactive compound discovery. Compounds Australiaconnects Australias chemists with the global bioscience research community by making available the nationalcompound collection (>670,000 compounds) in assay-ready formats. The requested equipment will support anetwork of 38 research groups from 22 organisations (academic, not-for-profit and industry), across five states.The research projects we aim to support with this equipment are diverse, but share a common emphasis on novelbioactive compound discovery to advance the understanding of complex biological phenomena.

The role of plant hormones in legume symbioses (2014 - 2016)$436,000

Description: Soil microbes can give plants access to previously unavailable but essential nutrients through symbioses. Legumes are unique as they form symbioses with both nitrogen-fixing bacteria and with mycorrhizal fungi that supply nutrients such as phosphate. This project will investigate the role of the plant hormones (small, mobile, potent growth regulators) in the formation of these symbiotic relationships across legume genera. An insight into the common and divergent roles of hormones in these symbioses is essential to provide researchers and breeders with new tools to maximise nutrient acquisition by legumes, important crops contributing an estimated A$1 billion/y to the Australian economy.
