Microbial Fraction Library: A Screening Source for Drug Discovery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cutting-Edge Organic Synthesis and Chemical Biology of Bioactive Molecules

Abstract

Natural products are an important source for drug screening because of their diverse chemical properties and biological activities. However, there are several drawbacks in this field such as the duplicate isolation of previously reported metabolites and the inherent difficulty of obtaining a pure compound with significant bioactivity, which requires considerable amount of work, time, and resources. Researchers are continuously devising ways to efficiently discover and isolate novel compounds by developing new screening and sample preparation methods. In this chapter, the current situation of microbial product research is described by introducing screening and sample preparation methods with focus on fraction libraries including our own strategy and discoveries.
