Journal ArticleDOI
Microtubules as a target for anticancer drugs.
Mary Ann Jordan,Leslie Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: Highly dynamic mitotic-spindle microtubules are among the most successful targets for anticancer therapy, and it is now known that at lower concentrations, microtubule-targeted drugs can suppress micro Tubule dynamics without changingmicrotubule mass; this action leads to mitotic block and apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promotion of microtubule assembly in vitro by taxol
TL;DR: It is reported here that taxol acts as a promoter of calf brain microtubule assembly in vitro, in contrast to plant products such as colchicine and podophyllotoxin, which inhibit assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioprospecting for Microbial Endophytes and Their Natural Products
Gary A. Strobel,Bryn Daisy +1 more
TL;DR: Endophytic microorganisms reside in the living tissues of the host plant and do so in a variety of relationships, ranging from symbiotic to slightly pathogenic, which may produce a plethora of substances of potential use to modern medicine, agriculture, and industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxol stabilizes microtubules in mouse fibroblast cells.
TL;DR: Taxol inhibited the migration behavior of fibroblast cells, but these cells did not lose their ability to produce mobile surface projections such as lamellipodia and filopodia.

TL;DR: While the intrinsic complexity of natural product-based drug discovery necessitates highly integrated interdisciplinary approaches, the reviewed scientific developments, recent technological advances, and research trends clearly indicate that natural products will be among the most important sources of new drugs in the future.
