Natural Products as a Foundation for Drug Discovery.

Natural Products as a Foundation for Drug Discovery. Curr Protoc Pharmacol. 2019 Sep;86(1):e67 Authors: Beutler JA Abstract Many natural products have been used as drugs for the treatment of diverse indications. Although most U.S. pharmaceutical companies have reduced or eliminated their in-house natural-product research over the years, new approaches for compound screening and chemical synthesis are resurrecting interest in exploring the therapeutic value of natural products. The aim of this commentary is to review emerging strategies and techniques that have made natural products a viable strategic choice for inclusion in drug discovery programs. Published 2019.
