Methods

Nature-derived approved drugs were identified as follows: The set of approved drugs and

the year of approval were collected from the literatures (e.g. Quarterly and annual reports

of FDA drug approval reports in Nature Biotechnology and Nature Reviews Drug

Discovery, reference 18 and 19), FDA website, and Drugbank20 and the Therapeutic target

database21. For the 2008-2012 drugs, only new molecular entities were included. The

initial set of approved nature-derived drugs were from the two recent papers18,19, which

were evaluated against the approved drug set to confirm their approval status, then their

nature-derived status was evaluated via comprehensive literature search to confirm that

either their natural product leads have been reported or they have been explicitly

mentioned as nature-derived in the literature that report their discovery. For the approved

drugs not covered by the initial set of nature-derived drugs (e.g. FDA approved drugs in

2011-2012, some approved vaccines), we conducted literature search to determine whether

or not they are nature-derived and, for the nature-derived ones, to find their natural product

leads.

Literature search was conducted by searching the original publications and review articles

by using combinations of such keywords as “drug name and alternative names”,

“discovery”, “species”, “natural product” and “nature”. While possible, the original

articles describing the discovery and optimization of each drug and lead were selected.

Some of the searched literatures are provided in Supplementary Table S2. The species

origin of a lead was determined via additional literature search based on the explicit report

that the lead “originates from”, “derived from”, “isolated from”, or “comes from” a species

or species-group (e.g. genus or family). The corresponding species-families of the host

species of these drugs as well as all the known species-families in the nature are from the

NCBI taxonomy database22. The species families that are in preexisting drug-productive

families or drug-productive clusters were described in our recent publications19.

Homoharringtonine (HHT) is a natural alkaloid that is obtained

from various Cephalotaxus species. In mid 1990s, HHT was studied as

salvage therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after failure on interferon-alpha

therapy. However, the remarkable success of imatinib mesylate in the

treatment of CML relegated HHT to oblivion. The development of omacetaxine mepesuccinate, a subcutaneously bioavailable

semisynthetic form of HHT, and its activity in imatinib-resistant CML has established this agent for the

second time as a valuable option in the management of this disease

Crofelemer, a purified proanthocyanidin oligomer

medicinal plant Croton lechleri (dragon's blood). The sap of C. lechleri has been used in South

American countries like Ecuador and Peru for many years to treat

diarrheas, including dysentery and cholera, and various lung, stomach,

and other conditions. In early 1990s, Crofelemer was isolated from the plant latex used by the

indigenous people. In late 1990s, additional pharmacological studies

have shown that crofelemer reduced fluid secretion in cell culture and

mouse models (9886979, 19808995)

Epoxomicin was first discovered by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS,

Tokyo, Japan) from an unidentied

Actinomycetes strain, No. Q996-17, based on its in vivo antitumor activity against murine B16

melanoma tumors. Despite its promising antitumor activity,

epoxomicin did not draw much attention because of its poor drug-

like properties, namely the presence of a peptide backbone and the labile

epoxy ketone pharmacophore, epoxomicin possesses

unprecedented selectivity for proteasome, an effort to optimize

the compound via a classical medicinal chemistry approach led to YU-101, which showed more potent

nhibitory activity against the proteasome than both epoxomicin and bortezomib, a boronic acid-

based synthetic proteasome inhibitor previously known

proteasome inhibitors (1468981, 23575525)

The unique pharmacological effects of the natural ligand SRIF-14 are

from its universal high-affinity binding to all somatostatin receptor subtypes sst1-sst5. However, SRIF-14 has a very short in vivo half-life

of less than 3 min, limiting its therapeutic utility, capitalizing on structure-activity relationships and

involving transposition of functional groups from SRIF into a reduced

size cyclohexapeptide template, has led to the discovery of SOM230, a

novel, stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic that exhibits unique high-affinity binding to human somatostatin receptors

Soon after the NNRTIs were being used in clinical settings, it became

inhibitors inactive without affecting dversely the catalytic competency of

the RT enzyme, structural modification of loviride lead to

DATA, but it is ineffective against then newly emerged double mutants

of the HIV-1 virus. In 1998, replacement of key components by NP pyrimidine and further structual

modification of other structural components lead to an atractive

drug lead DAPY (R147681) with potent inhibition against double

Reported in 2000, Initial studies to make a peptidomimetic inhibitor

began with truncation of a decamer peptide inhibitor derived from the natural NS5A-5B substrate, based on the Examination of the crystal

structure that shows protease active site is extremely hydrophobic, flat and exposed to solvent, with few pockets to increase the affinity for an inhibitor to bind, parts of the

natural substrate that were critical for binding to the protease active

site were spread over a large surface area, consistent with the co-complex

crystal structure of the HCV protease domain with the decamer

peptide, To compensate and increase affinity, a reversible

covalent inhibitor tetraaldehyde peptide was developed and used as a starting point for deriving the drug

In early 1990, ISP-1 was identified as the source of immunosuppressant

activity from the culture broth of Isaria sinclairii and displayed a

nearly 10-fold increase in activity over cyclosporin A. Remarkably

ISP-1 achieves its biological ctivity in a much simpler structure than cyclosporin A. The amphiphilic

nature of ISP-1, imparts the compound with poor cellular

permeability and oral bioavailability; since 1995 the lead

optimization effort sought to improve these properties,

Simplification of the parent structure by removing functionality or chirality helped to identify the

minimum pharmacophore required for activity, many of the simplified

analogs continued to be more potent than cyclosporin A in vitro, quite a remarkable result given the further simplification of the parent. The

next breakthrough was the replacement of a part of the fatty

acid side chain with 1,4-disubstituted phenyl ring to reduce

bond rotation (21684798)

Artemisinin, discovered in 1971 from traditional Chinese medicinal

In late 1970s to early 1980s, successful reduction of this lactone

ring was achieved with sodium borohydride, which lead to the

formation of dihydroartemisinin, which had a two-fold higher

antimalarial activity than its mother compound, is well tolerated, and its

production is easier and cheaper. Although hydroartemisinin was still poorly soluble, it was used for the

preparation of several first generation derivatives, Subsequent studies showed that the secondary

hydroxy group of dihydroartemisinin provides the

only site for derivatization without loss of antimalarial activity, in

1998, further optimization efforts led to the drug with improved drug delivery characteristics (3887571,

agonist and antagonist activity. Reported in 1990, because of its

structural similarity to an antidepressant compound,

ciramadol derivatives were derived for finding antidepressant agents

Methylnaltrexone (MNTX) is one of the newer agents of peripherally-acting μ-opioid antagonists with

ability to reverse some of the side effects of opioid drugs such as constipation without affecting

analgesia or precipitating withdrawals. Thousands of opioid-

like molecules had been synthesized by pharmaceutical companies

looking for the better analgesic , in 1963, screening these compounds led to the examination of putative antagonists which when modified

might not readily cross the blood–brain barrier based on their

size and charge, MNTX looked promising and passed initial

screening in which rodents were given opioids along with charcoal meals to track GI transit, and were

tested for analgesia in the late 1970s, In December 2005, Wyeth

and Progenics entered into an exclusive, worldwide agreement for

the joint development and commercialization of

methylnaltrexone for the treatment of opioid-induced side effects (US
