Quality not Quantity: The Role of Marine Natural Products in Drug Discovery and Reverse Chemical Proteomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reverse chemical proteomics combines affinity chromatography with phage display and promises to be a powerful new platform technology for the isolation of natural product receptors, facilitating the drug discovery process by rapidly linking biologically active small molecules to their cellular receptors and the receptors’ genes. In this paper we review chemical proteomics and reverse chemical proteomics and show how these techniques can add value to natural products research. We also report on techniques for the derivatisation of polystyrene microtitre plates with cleavable linkers and marine natural products that can be used in chemical proteomics or reverse chemical proteomics. Specifically, we have derivatised polystyrene with palau’amine and used reverse chemical proteomics to try and isolate the human receptors for this potent anticancer marine drug.

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 کاملReverse Chemical Proteomics in Drug Discovery
With advances in separation technology and structure elucidation, the main bottleneck limiting drug development from natural products is the identification of their cellular targets. Although effective therapeutic agents can be developed and successfully administered without knowledge of the underlying mechanism of action, elucidation of drug target proteins is essential in the design of new co...
