Drug discovery today. Technologies, 2005, Volume: 2, Issue: 3Journal Article
In recent years, large pharmaceutical companies have significantly reduced or eliminated the search for new therapeutic agents from natural sources. In spite of the many successes from natural product drug discovery, these companies have chosen to focus on compound libraries as the source of new lead compounds. Smaller biotechnology companies are continuing the search for novel natural products by developing and employing new and innovative approaches. This paper will describe some of these recent approaches to natural product drug discovery. Steve Gullans – RxGen Inc., New Haven, CT, USA Robert Zivin – Johnson and Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
