Plant-Sourced Natural Product Library

Natural products are characterized by enormous scaffold diversity and structural complexity, because of which, natural products do show a wide range of biological activities. Medicinal plants have been the major source of medicines over many centuries. About a quarter of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the European Medical Agency (EMA) approved drugs are plant based, with well-known drugs such as Paclitaxel and Aspirin having been isolated from plants.

MCE provides a unique collection of 2,918 plant-sourced natural products. MCE Plant-Sourced Natural Product Library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS).
