The use of substances derived from plants, fungi, bacteria and marine organisms has a long tradition in medicine. This book highlights the biodiversity-driven approaches which are now of eminent importance in natural products research. It addresses the question why natural products display such a complex chemical information, what makes them often unique and what their characteristics are. A compilation of current applicable technology makes this a brilliant reference work.

Activation of fungal silent gene clusters: A new avenue to drug discovery.- Total synthesis studies on macrocyclic pipecolic acid natural products: FK506, the antascomicins and rapamycin.- Application of natural product-inspired diversity-oriented synthesis to drug discovery.- Cheminformatics analysis of natural products: Lessons from nature inspiring the design of new drugs.- Chemical-genetic approaches for exploring the mode of action of natural products.- Epothilones as lead structures for new anticancer drugs — pharmacology, fermentation, and structure-activity-relationships.- Histone deacetylase inhibitors from microorganisms: the Astellas experience.- Ascomycete derivative to MS therapeutic: S1P receptor modulator FTY720.- Artemisinin — an innovative cornerstone for anti-malaria therapy.
