چکیده
Isolation of a number of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants such as acetylcholinesterase inhibiting steroidal alkaloids, homomoenjodaramine and moenjodaramine from Buxus hyrcana, anti-epileptic terpenoids delphadienones I and II from Delphinium denudatum, and potent leishmanicidal compound ajoene from Allium sativum have been achieved through bioactivity-guided isolation.

Bioactive natural products and derivatives remain an enduring starting point for the discovery of new cellular targets for disease intervention and lead compounds for the development of new therapeutic agents. The former goal is accomplished through the synthesis of bioactive cellular probes from natural products, enabling insights into the mechanism of action of these natural products by class...
متن کاملBioactive natural products from the antarctic and arctic organisms.
Polar regions are remote and challenging areas on the earth. In view of the unique environment and the severe competition in polar regions, it's considered that the ecological system might be the producer of new compounds with diversity biological activities. This review is an attempt to consolidate the studies about 97 natural products isolated from Antarctic and Arctic organisms including mic...
متن کاملA Natural Love of Natural Products
Recent research on the chemistry of natural products from the author's group that led to the receipt of the ACS Ernest Guenther Award in the Chemistry of Natural Products is reviewed. REDOR NMR and synthetic studies established the T-taxol conformation as the bioactive tubulin-binding conformation, and these results were confirmed by the synthesis of compounds which clearly owed their activity ...
