Download or read book New Approaches for the Discovery of Pharmacologically-Active Natural Compounds written by José L. Medina-Franco and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major source of active compounds, natural products from different sources supply a large variety of molecules that have been approved for clinical use or used as the starting points of optimization programs. This book features nine papers (eight full articles and one review paper) written by more than 45 scientists from around the world. These papers illustrate the development and application of a broad range of computational and experimental techniques applied to natural product research. On behalf of the contributors to the book, our hope is that the research presented here contributes to advancements in the field, and encourages multidisciplinary teams, young scientists, and students to further advance in the discovery of pharmacologically-active natural compounds
