Description

Natural products hold a prominent position in the discovery and development of many drugs used nowadays, with diverse indications for human and animal health. Especially, plants have played a leading role as source of specialized metabolites with medical effects, while other organisms such as marine and terrestrial animals and microorganisms produce very important drug candidate molecules. Specialized metabolites from all these natural sources can be used directly as bioactive compounds, or as drug precursors. Due to their wide chemical diversity they can act as drug prototypes and/ or be used as pharmacological tools for different targets.
