Biologically active natural products: pharmaceuticals

Antibiotics, antineoplastics, herbicides, and insecticides often originate from plant and microbial defense mechanisms. Secondary metabolites, once considered unimportant products, are now thought to mediate plant defense mechanisms by providing chemical barriers against animal and microbial pred...
