Natural products obtained from plants, marine organisms or microorganisms are the sources of a number of drugs. Bioactive natural compounds may also be used as tools to better understand their interaction with enzymes or proteins, unknown pathways in cell division or disease processes and to design new drugs. The session will be devoted to the discovery of new bioactive natural products with emphasis on modern techniques for their detection, isolation and structural determination.
