Genomics for natural product discovery
The Natural Product Discovery Institute contains a set of more than 30 000 fungal and actinomycete organisms that can be used for natural product discovery. The natural product library contains purified compounds, partially purified column fractions, and crude extracts from natural product-producing organisms. The collection is available for screening. This site describes a roadmap for analysin...
متن کاملHit discovery and hit-to-lead approaches.
Hit discovery technologies range from traditional high-throughput screening to affinity selection of large libraries, fragment-based techniques and computer-aided de novo design, many of which have been extensively reviewed. Development of quality leads using hit confirmation and hit-to-lead approaches present their own challenges, depending on the hit discovery method used to identify the init...
متن کاملRecent 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 کاملDiscovery of micafungin (FK463): A novel antifungal drug derived from a natural product lead
FR901379, which is a novel, water-soluble, echinocandin-like lipopeptide, was isolated from a microbial culture broth. It showed potent in vivo antifungal activity against Candida albicans and inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-β-glucan. However, this compound had hemolytic activity and was also less active against Aspergillus fumigatus. To overcome these shortcomings, we synthesized FR131535 bearin...
متن کاملGuiding principles for natural product drug discovery.
Natural products (NPs) have historically been a fertile source of new drugs for the pharmaceutical industry. However, this once-popular approach has waned considerably over the past two decades as the high-throughput screening of megalibraries comprised mainly of molecules with non-natural (synthetic) motifs has unfolded. Contemporary high-throughput screening libraries contain molecules compli...
