Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of drug development, the exploitation of chemical platforms for the identification of novel druggable molecules has become common place in many research laboratories. In recent years, the characterisation of novel bioactives, that often share chemical properties commonly found in many nature products, or molecules that are critical in cell signalling systems, has gained much attention. Synthetic routes of production, and allied platforms in the characterisation of druggable entities continues to drive advances in this field. The multidisciplinary nature of the research has led to the design and refinement of natural products-like drug candidates, and in the synthesis of biological mimetics they function as cellular antioxidants, as enzymes mimetics, or as novel molecules that have the capacity to release signalling molecules in tissues.
