Abstract
Natural products (NPs) have long been used as a rich source of bioactive compounds for drug development. Recent technological advancements have revitalised natural products research as evidenced by increased publications in this field. In this editorial review, we highlight key points from the 2020 British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) practical guide, which outlines standards for natural products research reports, and provide papers published in BJP between years 2020 to 2023 that demonstrate adherence to these guidelines. Looking ahead, we discuss the potential of chemical proteomics approaches to elucidate natural products mechanisms of action and identify therapeutic targets for future research. By fostering innovation, we aim to advance natural products research and contribute to the development of novel therapeutics that will have a significant impact on healthcare.
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) is a biomedical science journal offering comprehensive international coverage of experimental and translational pharmacology. It publishes original research, authoritative reviews, mini reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, databases, letters to the Editor, and commentaries.
Review articles, databases, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are typically commissioned, but unsolicited contributions are also considered, either as standalone papers or part of themed issues.
In addition to basic science research, BJP features translational pharmacology research, including proof-of-concept and early mechanistic studies in humans. While it generally does not publish first-in-man phase I studies or phase IIb, III, or IV studies, exceptions may be made under certain circumstances, particularly if results are combined with preclinical studies.
