Exploring Natural Products for Drug Discovery
Author(s): Cayman Stephen*
Natural products have been an important source of drugs for centuries,
providing treatments for a wide range of diseases. With the increasing
demand for new and effective drugs, the search for natural products
with therapeutic potential has become an important area of research
in drug discovery. In this article, we explore the potential of natural
products as a source of new drugs, and discuss the various approaches
used to identify and isolate these compounds. We begin by discussing
the chemical diversity of natural products and the potential benefits they
offer in drug discovery, including their structural complexity and ability
to interact with multiple biological targets. We then review the various
approaches used to identify and isolate natural products, including
traditional ethno botanical methods, bioassay-guided fractionation, and
