Natural Products Targeting Oncology Pathways
04 May 2010: In this application note, BioFocus present three examples for natural compounds targeting specific tumor pathways: geldanamycin, borrelidin and fredericamycin. Gram quantities of the compounds are generated using microbial producers and semi-synthesis subsequently generates focused libraries of natural compound analogs. In vivo and in vitro protocols are then used to test potential anticancer properties of the compounds.

Epigenetics Targets –Efficient Hit-Finding Approaches
04 May 2010: In this application note BioFocus use epigenetic targets to identify starting points for lead optimizaton. In order to address a broad range of novel epigenetics targets, rather than screening a full compound collection, BioFocus use computational chemistry workflows which are individually tailored and optimized for selecting the most suited compounds from library subsets for primary screening. These filtered high-throughput screens generate a greatly increased hit-rate.

Are Natural Products Delivering? Experiences and Recommendations from 27 Screening Campaigns
04 May 2010: In this application note from BioFocus, microbial strain subfractions are generated and used in high-throughput screens (HTS) for analysis with regard to diversity, selectivity and strain origin. Natural compounds were identified during the follow up of subfraction screening programs and their chemical properties have been analyzed. Searches in natural product databases revealed that 135 of the 645 identified natural compounds are novel compounds.
