RESUMO

Understanding the target and mode of action (MOA) of small molecules activity has become a critical feature in guiding the transition between drug discovery and clinical evaluation. While classically placed at the latter stages of a discovery program, we now describe how addressing the mode of action of natural products at the early stages of a program provides an important vehicle to inform the drug discovery process. In this review, we outline a streamlined cellular and molecular biological system and explore its utility through a series of four cases studies. We believe that this approach offers critical lessons to guide future drug discovery programs.
