| Though the use of natural products as leads to drugs waned in the early 1980s with the rise of combinatorial chemistry as a putative discovery tool, inspection of the chemical literature shows that natural products in one guise or another are alive and well and the “chemical inspiration” from these privileged structures is leading to novel approaches in drug design and discovery. This presentation gives a brief historical overview as to why this is so and then will proceed to some recent exemplars in order to “set the stage” for the subsequent presentations in this symposium. |
