Many drugs are derived from natural products. But before natural products can be exploited, chemists must first determine their structure and stereochemistry. This can be a major challenge, particularly when the molecules cannot be crystallized and contain only few hydrogen atoms. A new NMR-based method, developed at the Leibniz-Forschungsst fér Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP), now simplifies th e analysis and produces more accurate results. The work has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.<br><br>Natural products are present in antibiotics, painkillers and cancer drugs, playing a key role in around 60 percent of all FDA approved drugs. Plants、 fungi and sessile marine organisms are particularly promising sources、 because many of them poss chemical defen セズ・トゥ・デ・ター・プラデア However, identification of potential drug candidates is a challenge.

However, this requires the use of special instruments that are not available in all laboratories. and then there is the matter of time-consuming methods of analysis involved in data analysis.
