Natural Products and Natural Products-Derived Compounds

Renewed interest in natural products and natural product-derived compounds as a source for new leads in drug discovery programs has been occurring in the recent past (C&EN, October 12, 2003, p.77). This attention has been attributed to a number of factors that include; diminished productivity in the pharmaceutical industry; unfulfilled promises of combinatorial chemistry technology; the history of natural sources to provide drug leads and products. This latter statement is supported by analysis claiming that 61% of 877 small molecule drugs introduced worldwide during the period 1981-2002 can be traced to, or were inspired by, natural products [J Natural Products, 66,1022(2003)].

TimTec has assembled a library of natural products and natural
product-derived compound that provide a broad selection of molecular
frameworks that probe chemical diversity space. If you would like more
information on this library, please contact us.
