Cheminformatic analysis of natural product-based drugs and chemical probes
Nat. Prod. Rep., 2022,39,20-32 DOI: 10.1039/D1NP00039J, HighlightSamantha Stone, David J. Newman, Steven L. Colletti, Derek S. Tan Cheminformatic analyses illustrate that drugs from natural product-based and synthetic origins have distinctive structural and physicochemical features. These drugs also cluster by biosynthetic origin and, to some extent, by therapeutic class. The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry (Source: RSC - Nat. Prod.
