Natural product compounds are the source of numerous therapeutic agents. Recent progress to discover drugs from natural product sources has resulted in compounds that are being developed to treat cancer, resistant bacteria and viruses and immunosuppressive disorders. In many instances, the discovery of a novel natural product serves as a tool to better understand targets and pathways in the disease process.
