Recent advances in natural product discovery.
Natural products have been and continue to be the source and inspiration for a substantial fraction of human therapeutics. Although the pharmaceutical industry has largely turned its back on natural product discovery efforts, such efforts continue to flourish in academia with promising results. Natural products have traditionally been identified from a top-down perspective, but more recently ge...
متن کاملEnzymes Involved in Redox Reactions: Natural Sources and Mechanistic Overview
Current environmental concerns are pressuring Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries to develop novel synthetic approaches that may operate under more benign conditions. This trend has paramounted the appearance of the “Green Chemistry” as a core discipline, with an increasing importance both in academia and industry. In a nutshell, Green Chemistry—as well as Green Engineering—has been compiled...
متن کاملAdvances of Plant-derived Natural Products in Ovarian Cancer Therapy
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in the gynaecologic cancers within the UK and US. Presently the standard treatment for ovarian cancer entails the use of chemotherapy drugs paclitaxel and carboplatin after aggressive surgical reduction in order to prolong the patient’s life for multiple years. However, prolonged use of platinum-based chemotherapy often leads to drug resistance, whic...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering for plant natural product biosynthesis in microbes.
Plant natural products (NPs) not only serve many functions in an organism's survivability but also demonstrate important pharmacological activities. Isolation of NPs from native sources is frequently limited by low abundance and environmental, seasonal, and regional variation while total chemical synthesis of what are often complex structures is typically commercially infeasible. Reconstruction...
متن کاملRecent advances in extraction methods of medicinal plant components
Various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. This review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...
