Book Natural Products and Drug Discovery

Download or read book Natural Products and Drug Discovery written by Pinarosa Avato and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural products hold a prominent position in the current discovery and development of drugs and have diverse indications for both human and animal health. Plants, in particular, play a leading role as a source of specialized metabolites with medical effects. Other organisms, such as marine and terrestrial animals and microorganisms, produce very important drug candidate molecules. Specialized metabolites from these varied natural sources can be used directly as bioactive compounds or drug precursors. In addition, due to their broad chemical diversity, they can act as drug prototypes and/or be used as pharmacological tools for different targets. Some examples of natural metabolites that have been developed into useful medical drug are cardiotonic digoxin from Digitalis sp., antimalarial artemisinin from Artemisia annua, anti-cancer taxol from Taxus sp., or podophyllotoxin from Podophyllum peltatum, which served as a synthetic model for the anti-cancer etoposide. The study of natural products is still attracting great scientific attention and their current importance, as a valuable lead for drug discovery, is undebatable. I cordially invite authors to contribute original articles, as well as survey articles, that give the readers of Molecules **MOLECULES NEEDS TO BE ITALICIZED** updated and new perspectives on natural products in drug discovery, including but not limited to natural sources, identification and separation of bioactive phytochemicals, standardization, new biological targets, pre-clinical and clinical trials, pharmacological effects/side effects, and bioassays.

Book Studies in Natural Products Chemistry

Download or read book Studies in Natural Products Chemistry written by Suresh R. Naik and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioactive natural products are an excellent source of novel therapeutics. The search for bioactive molecules from nature continues to play a major role in developing new generation natural products of therapeutic importance. The present critical review includes research work carried out by active researchers in natural products’ chemistry, pharmacology and therapeutics, and their implications in antidiabetic medications. This compiled scientific information will be a useful resource for future research especially in indentifying promising leads and direction for the development of novel drugs including useful adjuvants for the treatment of diabetic patient. The present therapeutic approaches in the treatment of diabetes are mainly focused to lower the elevated blood glucose by reducing its absorption in gastrointestinal tract, enhancing the sensitivity of insulin, controlling or modulating hepatic glucose output, and increased utilization of the glucose by the peripheral tissues. Involvement of oxidative stress and its impact on the cellular damage in diabetes mellitus has been established and could be a useful paradigm for the development of novel antihyperglycemics along with other therapeutic strategies. The present review also highlights the effects of various herbs, phytoconstituents, phytochemicals, microbial metabolites, and products of marine origins on hyperglycemic/diabetic conditions. Furthermore, efforts were made to discuss novel molecular targets such as insulin-signaling pathways, peroxisome proliferative activating receptor-γ, and G-protein-coupled receptors that are participating in enhancing/influencing insulin secretion, critical carbohydrate metabolism pathways, endoplasmic reticulum stress-related pathways, intracellular events associated intracellular inflammation, and chromatin-modification pathways involvement in antidiabetic activity and their significance.
