  The great structural diversity found in natural resources makes them an invaluable source of new, innovative chemical molecules with potential applications in medicine. The need for new and better pharmaceuticals has experienced a growth in investigating and utilizing nature especially for development of antibacterial, antidiabetic and anticancer compounds. Nature has historically provided us with potent anticancer agents which include vinca alkaloids (Vincristine (VCR), vinblastine, vindesine, vinorelbine), taxanes (Paclitaxel (PTX), docetaxel), podophyllotoxin and its derivatives (Etoposide (ETP), teniposide), Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives (topotecan, irinotecan), anthracyclines (doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin) and others. Approximately 50% of all anti-cancer medications that are approved globally are derived from natural chemicals or their derivatives an.. Read More»
