Virtual Natural Product Library - full text searchable database
Small molecules occurring in nature have special significance to
mankind. They have varied applications from healthcare, food,
nutrition, agriculture, personal care and well-being. These
natural small molecules are from very diverse sources from the
rarest plants to deep sea creatures. Recently they have assumed a
lot of significance as pharmaceutical companies is constantly
pushing the horizons to make them druggable due to their
inherent bioactivities. Though they are not easy to synthesize or
isolate, yet their diverse molecular scaffold confers them
significance especially given the fact of prevailing resistance to
drug scaffolds presently being used in the clinics. Hence its of
paramount importance to have a database of diverse natural small
molecules through the present effort of creating a Virtual
Natural Products Library (VNPL-version 0.15).
