MICROBIAL NATURAL PRODUCTS: A PAST WITH A FUTURE

For over 50 years, antibiotics have served us well in combating infectious bacteria and fungi. The recently increased development of resistance to older antibacterial and antifungal drugs is being challenged by (i) newly discovered antibiotics (e.g., pneumocandins), (ii) new semi-synthetic versions of old antibiotics (e.g., glycylcyclines), (iii) older underutilized antibiotics (e.g., teicoplanin), and (iv) new derivatives of previously undeveloped narrow-spectrum antibiotics (e.g., streptogramins, everninomycin). Many of these products are in late stage clinical testing at the moment. In addition, many antibiotics are used commercially, or are potentially useful, in medicine or agriculture for activities other than their antibiotic action. They are used as antitumor agents, enzyme inhibitors including powerful hypocholesterolemic agents, immunosuppressive agents, and anti-migraine agents, in medicine. Agricultural products include bioherbicides, antiparasitic agents, bioinsecticides and growth promotants for animals (especially ruminants) and plants. A number of these products were first discovered as mycotoxins, or as antibiotics which failed in their development as such. Combinatorial chemistry will accelerate the discovery of new derivatives of natural products. It will join structure-function drug design, semi-synthesis, and recombinant DNA technology as techniques complementing the screening of natural products.
1 INTRODUCTION
Natural products have been an overwhelming success in our society. The doubling of our life span in the twentieth century has been attributed to the use of plant and microbial secondary metabolites. These have reduced pain and suffering, and revolutionized medicine by allowing for the transplantation of organs. Natural products are the most important anticancer and anti-infective agents. Over 60% of approved and pre-NDA candidates are either natural products or related to them, not including biologicals such as vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. Almost half of the best selling pharmaceuticals are natural or are related to natural products. Often, the natural molecule has not been used itself but served as a lead molecule for manipulation by chemical or genetic means.
Secondary metabolism has evolved in nature in response to needs and challenges of the natural environment. Nature has continually carried out its own version of combinatorial chemistry for the period of over 3 billion years during which bacteria have inhabited the earth. During that time, there has been an evolutionary process in progress in which producers of secondary metabolites evolve according to their local environments. If the metabolites are useful to the organism, the biosynthetic genes are retained and genetic modifications further improve the process. Combinatorial chemistry practiced by nature is much more sophisticated than combinatorial chemistry in the laboratory, yielding exotic structures rich in stereochemistry, concatenated rings and reactive functional groups. As a result, an amazing variety and number of products have been found in nature. The total number of natural products produced by plants has been estimated to be over 500,000. About 100,000 secondary metabolites of molecular weight less than 2500 have been characterized, mainly produced by microbes and plants: some 50,000 are from microorganisms. The enormous diversity existing in secondary metabolism can be illustrated by the following two examples.
(i) 22,000 terpenoids have been described from living organisms. They are all produced from hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A via mevalonate. Their structures contain repeats of the five-carbon isoprene unit unless subsequently modified. Their functions include intercellular communication in animals (steroid hormones) and in plants (gibberellins), aroma (volatile terpenoids), pigments (carotenoids) and sexual hormones in animals and fungi. There are 86 known gibberellins, of which 26 are produced by fungi and the rest by plants.
(ii) 10,000 polyketides are known, most of which are produced by bacteria and fungi. These include antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, tetracyclines, rifamycins), antitumor agents (e.g., doxorubicin, daunorubicin, enediynes), immunosuppressants (e.g., FK 506, rapamycin), antiparasitic agents (e.g., avermectins), antifungals (e.g.,...

Shop-Beschreibung
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
