Traditionally, the search for new compounds from natural products has been a time- and resource-intensive process. The recent application of combinatorial methods and high-throughput synthesis has allowed scientists to generate a range of new molecular structures from natural products and observe how they interact with biological targets.

Biography

Boldi\, Armen M.

"[This book] elegantly reviews recent efforts to develop high-diversity compound libraries based on natural products. ...From the historical developments to the latest technologies, from the identification of a suitable target to the building of the library, every step is documented and highlighted by many examples. ...A huge amount of references give the readers the opportunity to return to the original papers... ... A large amount of appealing Figures and Schemes illustrate the concepts discussed in the text. The Chapters are well structured... As the authors are from different backgrounds, the book covers various strategies, various synthetic methods, and all types of compound families. ...[A] valuable tool for everybody working in medicinal chemistry as well as the agrochemical, industrial, or academic domains.
