Target identification of anticancer natural products using a chemical proteomics approach

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a strong demand worldwide for the identification and development of potential anticancer drugs based on natural products. Natural products have been explored for their diverse biological and therapeutic applications from ancient time. In order to enhance the efficacy and selectivity and to minimize the undesired side effects of anti cancer natural products (ANPs), it is essential to understand their target proteins and their mechanistic pathway. Chemical proteomics is one of the most powerful tools to connect ANP target identification and quantification where labeling and non-labeling based approaches have been used. Herein, we have discussed the various strategies to systemically develop selective ANP based chemical probes to characterise their specific and non-specific target proteins using a chemical proteomic approach in various cancer cell lysates.
