Natural Product-Like Combinatorial Libraries
نویسندگان
چکیده
A química combinatorial emergiu ao longo dos últimos anos como uma importante ferramenta na pesquisa de moléculas pioneiras para a modelagem de novos fármacos. Nesta perspectiva, a diversidade estrutural e a vasta gama de propriedades biológicas exibidas pelos metabolitos secundários, constituem um desafio à implementação de estratégias combinatórias na síntese e derivatização de produtos naturais. Este artigo ilustra a aplicação das técnicas combinatórias no desenho e formação de bibliotecas baseadas em produtos naturais de diversa origem biossintética, e seus análogos estruturais.

Assessment of "drug-likeness" of a small library of natural products using chemoinformatics
Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...

متن کاملCombinatorial synthesis of natural product-like molecules using a first-generation spiroketal scaffold.
Recently, significant attention has been focused on the synthesis small-molecule libraries based on natural product or natural product-like structures. In this paper, we report our initial studies on the use of the 1,7-dioxaspiro[5,5]undecane (spiroketal) moiety as a rigid-core template for elaboration using parallel synthesis techniques. The synthesis of a spiroketal scaffold that is reminisce...
متن کاملIdentification of natural-product-derived inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase activity by ligand-based virtual screening.
A natural product collection and natural-product-derived combinatorial libraries were virtually screened for potential inhibitors of human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activity. We followed a sequential ligand-based approach in two steps. First, similarity searching with a topological pharmacophore descriptor (CATS 2D method) was performed to enable scaffold-hopping. Eighteen compounds were selected f...
متن کاملProperties and Architecture of Drugs and Natural Products Revisited
Computer-based analysis revealed that natural products exhibit a remarkable structural diversity of molecular frameworks and scaffolds that could be systematically exploited for combinatorial synthesis. Natural products offer a rich pool of unique molecular frameworks that complement “drug space”. They possess desirable druglike properties rendering them ideal starting points for molecular desi...
متن کاملChemically engineered extracts as an alternative source of bioactive natural product-like compounds.
The access to libraries of molecules with interesting biomolecular properties is a limiting step in the drug discovery process. By virtue of a long molecular evolution process, natural products are recognized as biologically validated starting points in structural space for library development. We introduce here a strategy to generate natural product-like libraries. A semisynthetic mixture of c...
