چکیده
Bioprospecting describe the procedure of exploration, extraction, screening and trading of new products using biological diversity as source. Bioprospecting process is a multidisciplinary enterprise that involves various research actors and scientific subjects. Also a bioprospecting program investigates the indigenous understanding about practices and characteristics of medicinal plants and animals as well as the search for formerly unidentified compounds in natural sources that have never been used in folk medicine. The aim of this editorial is to give a rational approach for design a bioprospecting program for drug development, useful for to initiate a search on the primary screening of new drugs from biodiversity.

Bioprospecting: Creating a Value for Biodiversity
Bioprospecting is the exploration of biological material for commercially valuable genetic and biochemical properties (Reid et al., 1993). This chapter will focus on the search for activities that could form the basis of new pharmaceuticals. Historically, most of the active ingredients in medicines have been natural products (Sneader, 1996), and natural products continue to form a productive so...

Background: The use of new technologies in the field of drug discovery and development plays an important role in introducing new and effective drugs, optimizing the properties of existing drugs and, in general the development of various drug-dependent industries, as well as the general health of human, animal and plant communities. These methods provide new drugs at...
متن کاملSearch, bioprospecting and biodiversity conservation
To what extent can private-sector bioprospecting incentives be relied upon for the protection of biological diversity? The literature contains dramatically different estimates of these incentives, from trivial to quite large. We resolve this controversy by isolating the fundamental source of the discrepancy and then providing empirically defensible estimates based on that analysis. Results demo...
متن کاملBiodiversity and chemodiversity: future perspectives in bioprospecting.
Biological diversity and its constituent chemical diversity have served as one of the richest sources of bioprospecting leading to the discovery of some of the most important bioactive molecules for mankind. Despite this excellent record, in the recent past, however, bioprospecting of biological resources has met with little success; there has been a perceptible decline in the discovery of nove...
