One of the most successful sources of scaffolds for the identification and development of new drugs are natural compounds, extracted from diverse marine and terrestrial protobiota, arthropods and plants (1). Small molecule drugs have been developed from chemical entities obtained or derived from natural products or from synthetic molecules presenting a natural product-inspired pharmacophore.
