Natural Products
~25% of drugs in use today are derived from natural products 61% of the 877 NCE introduced between 1981 and 2002 can be
traced to a natural product origin (J. Nat. Prod. (2003) 66:1022) In certain therapeutic areas, the impact is even higher, e.g., anti-
cancer (74%) and anti-bacterial (78%) Yet, natural products was de-emphasized 20 years ago because of
the advent of combinatorial chemistry! Combinatorial chemistry was not only faster and cheaper, but was
much clearer with respect to intellectual property rights The alarming decline in the number of NCEs in the past years from
an average of 30 per year to about 17 a year is correlated with
decreased interest in natural products chemistry
General
MEDC 603 Fall 2007 12
Natural products evolved for self-defense!! Amazing are the natural products that apparently evolved
only for the purpose of alleviating our diseases, e.g., the
statins Traditionally natural products are plant products, e.g.,
morphine from Papaver somniferum or digitoxin from
Digitalis Plants form the bulk of natural product suppliers … current
estimate of number of plant species on earth is ¼ million These days natural products are obtained from plants, algae,
insects, bacteria, yeast, animals, ….

Natural Products
Typically process of drug discovery from natural sources
• Pre-knowledge helpful (cultural folklore, Chinese
Materia Medica, Indian Ayurveda, ….)
• Collect source (plant, algae, animals, ….)
• Screen extracts (organic + aqueous extractions)
• HIT!!
• Chromatographic separation
• Screen individual components
• HIT or MISS??
• Structural identification
• Independent synthesis and re-bioassay

Data from Feher and Schmidt, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci (2003) 43, 218.
Statistically defined chemical space is similar for natural products and drugs, while combinatorial compounds and drugs do not share similar space.
