Unconventional natural sources for future drug discovery.
Natural products used as food or drinks, clues from the fascinating science of zoopharmacognosy, terrestrial animals and their excreta, and many other NPs not primarily known for their medical use, seem to have, to a great extent, escaped the attention of natural product research. It is nevertheless highly probable that these sources could contain biologically active compounds, some of which wi...
متن کاملNatural products and drug discovery
The medicinal use of natural products—compounds that are derived from natural sources such as plants, animals or micro-organisms—precedes recorded human history probably by thousands of years. Palaeoanthropological studies at the cave site of Shanidar, located in the Zagros Mountains of Kurdistan in Iraq, have suggested that more than 60,000 years ago, Neanderthals might have been aware of the ...
متن کاملNatural products in drug discovery.
Natural products have been the single most productive source of leads for the development of drugs. Over a 100 new products are in clinical development, particularly as anti-cancer agents and anti-infectives. Application of molecular biological techniques is increasing the availability of novel compounds that can be conveniently produced in bacteria or yeasts, and combinatorial chemistry approa...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives in drug discovery against tuberculosis from natural products.
Currently, one third of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), while 8.9-9.9 million new and relapse cases of tuberculosis (TB) are reported yearly. The renewed research interests in natural products in the hope of discovering new and novel antitubercular leads have been driven partly by the increased incidence of multidrug-resistant strains of MTB an...
