Cooperative Synthesis by Molecular Deconvolution
The past six decades have seen awe-inspiring progress in the science of synthesis. In academia, the assembly of complex molecules (natural products) still poses a challenge, but is no longer a limitation. Yet, application of natural products in industry is still limited. This limitation is reflected by a lack of novel lead structures with a new mode of action — one of the main challenges pharmaceutical industry faces today. With complexity still being a challenge but no longer the limitation, natural products and their unique structures are now ideally suited to fill this gap. However, “target oriented synthesis” (TOS) still dominates the synthetic community, but is not suited for structure…
