Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity globally. Natural products have played a significant role in bringing novel therapies to the clinic for the treatment of various types of cancer. However, several natural products have low potency, chemical instability, poor pharmacokinetics, and high toxicity. Therefore, a natural-product-inspired strategy has been utilized to overcome the limitations of natural products in cancer drug discovery. Herein, we present a critical review to describe how medicinal chemists designed anti-cancer agents via a natural-product-inspired strategy. We have also illustrated how this approach is used to overcome drug resistance in cancer. The natural product-inspired analogues/derivatives were classified into different categories. Our focus extends to reviewing the design strategies, in vitro/in vivo results, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of natural-product-inspired molecules as anti-cancer agents. We expect that this review will inspire the development of more effective and diversified anti-cancer agents.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
