Abstract
The role and importance of natural products and natural products research has often been the subject of discussion in recent years. Some companies have curtailed their efforts in this research area, for reasons of cost, lack of success, or to make way for such upcoming new technologies as combinatorial synthesis. We therefore initiated a study to address the question: Is there a future for natural products in industrial drug discovery programs?
