报告摘要： Many years have passed since all the big Pharmaceutical companies closed the natural product operations. But this gave small companies and academics opportunity to carry out natural product research. We have identified many novel compounds with different biological activities from various new natural sources, including tropical plants, arthropods-associated bacteria, endophytic fungi, and bacteria from deep-sea sediments etc. The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine may refocus us on the idea that the immense diversity of natural products is a great starting point for drug discovery.
