Natural Product Chemistry

Nature is the best source of biodiversity. The natural products offer a tremendousdiversity of chemical structures which are derived from biosynthetic processes that havebeen modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. The natural products encompassvariety of compounds like amino acids peptides proteins carbohydrates lipids terpenoidsalkaloids flavanoids polypeptides nucleic acid bases RNA DNA and so forth. These arenot just outcome of suitability with nature. They are the evidences of complexity and diversityin nature which actually give rise to many new molecules through research. The naturalmoiety may provide tricky targets throughout drug discovery process.
