Main Classes of Natural Products:
- Carbohydrates
- Lipids
- Proteins
- Nucleic Acids

A broad category of chemical compounds, also reffered as Sugars. The most abundant class of bio-organic molecules on Earth. Although relatively low in human, it constitute about 75% by mass of dry plant materials.
Main functions: Energy storage, structure element , source of carbon of the bio-synthesis of other subtsances, “Markers” on cell surface for cell-cell recognition.

A broad category of chemical compounds composed of amino acids. Includins Aminoacids, polypetides, Enzymes.
Main functions: Very large variety of functions, from maintenance or repairing of existing tissues and synthesis of new ones to the catalysis of all the bio-chemical reactions that take place in a living organism (Enzyms).

Metabolism
The Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions that take place in a living organism.
Primary Metabolism: All the chemical reactions necessary for the live of the organism by itself.
Primary Metabolites: All the chemical products involved in the Primary Metabolism.
Secondary Metabolites: All the chemical products that are produced by the living organism but are NOT involved in the primary metabolism. Not necessary for the live of the organism by itself but usefull for interaction with others (chemical communication, chemical defences).

Hormones, Pheromones and Allomones
Hormones: Chemical products use in the tranfer of information between tissues or organs within a Body, in order to coordinate their activity.
Pheromones: Chemical products used between individuals of the same specie in order to induce a specific behavior (Chemical communication).
Allomones: Chemical products released by an organism wich has a negative effect on another organism (Chemical defence).

Intoduction to Medicinal Chemistry
Evolution gave different organism different “Chemical Tools” to communicate with individuals of the same specie or to defend themselves against predators.
Question : As we share the same kind of Primary Metabolism, doesn't those “Chemical Tools” have a effect on the human body?
Answer : Yes, and some times those “Chemical Tools” can be used as Medicinal Drugs.

Natural Products Derivatives : The Aspirin Story
Natural Products wich are slightly modified in order to improve their activities or decrease the side-effects.
Willow tree
- 400 BC Use of the bark and leaves of willow tree to releave pain and fever (Greece).- 1758 Edward Stone (England) chew the bark of a willow tree ⇒ bitter ⇒⇒ discovery of Salicin and Salicilic acid (side effect: stomach pain)- 1897 Felix Hoffmann (BAYER, Germany) synthesise Aspirin.

Total Synthesis vs Semi-synthesis : The Taxol Story
Pacific Yew TreeTaxus brevifolia
- 1962 A. Barclay isolated Taxol from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree (Taxus brevifolia)- Present in very small quantity : 100 year-old tree to isolate 300mg = a single dose ⇒ need to prepare it.
- Total Synthesis starting from simple commercially available molecules (more than 30 steps : less than 1% Total Yield)- Semi-synthesis starting from complex natural product :10-deacetylbaccatin III discovered from the needles of European Yew tree (Taxus baccata) : 3 Steps, 50 % Total Yield.

- Quinine was isolated in 1820 by Caventou and Pelletier (France), from the bark of the cinchona tree, brought back from south america by jesuit missionaries.
- Used for treatment of fever, pain and Malaria.
- 1934 I G Farben (Germany), synthesis of Chloroquine.

Central Nervous System (CNS) and Homosedinone Analogs
Sedum acre
- Homosedinone was isolated from Sedum acre in 1988.
- Wide screening from Pharmaceutical French company Servier, for potential CNS Disease Therapeutics among natually occuring products showed homsedinone has interesting activities.
- Collaboration between Servier and Free University of Brussels to prepare analogs of homosedinone and test their activity on CNS.
