Small-molecule natural products: new structures, new activities.

A wide variety of novel small-molecule natural products has recently been reported. These compounds were isolated from marine and terrestrial sources, and from a variety of animals, plants and microorganisms. With the breadth of diversity represented in these bioactive small molecules, the future of natural product drug discovery looks bright.
