BioprospectingBioprospecting
”Bioprospecting" was first defined in 1993 as "the exploration of biodiversity for commercially valuable
genetic resources and biochemicals."
Marine bioprospecting in Trondheim: history
• Started in October 2003 at NTNU & SINTEF (2 projects), funded by Norges Forskningsråd.
• 2003-2005: sample collection (sediments, sponges, water surface) and development of cultivation, screening and analytical techniques.
• 2006: identification of ”hits” in anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer screens.
• 2007-2008: identification of potential anti-bacterial and anti-cancer ”lead” compounds. Structure elucidation for 2 compounds.
• 2010: Initiation of genome-based bioprospecting.

Antibiotic: what is it?Antibiotic: what is it?
“… a chemical substance derived from microorganisms which has the capacity of inhibiting growth, and even destroying, other microorganisms in dilute solutions”
Selman A. Waksman (1888-1973)
Why did antibiotic developmentWhy did antibiotic developmentby Big by Big PharmaPharma virtually stopped? virtually stopped?
•• ””LetLet’’ss gogo ””blockbusterblockbuster!!”” – concentrating on more profitable chronic disease drugs;
•• ””ForgetForget bioprospectingbioprospecting!!”” – abandonment of searchfor new antibiotics from natural sources – too costly, few novel compounds;
•• ””ResistanceResistance? ? WhatWhat resistanceresistance??”” – under-appreciation of the emerging resistance of pathogensto existing antibiotics.
Antibiotics: good or bad?Antibiotics: good or bad?
• Anti-infective drugs
• Immunosuppressants
• Antitumor agents
• Antiparasitic drugs
• Food preservatives
• Herbicides
• Side effects
• Emergence of

Why new antibiotics?Why new antibiotics?
• Overcoming resistance in pathogens and cancer cells

• Many new antibiotics can be found in nature: certain bacteria are known to be excellent antibiotic producers;
• At NTNU/SINTEF isolated bacteria from Trondheim fjord capable of producing antibiotics
