ABSTRACT
An important reason for the worldwide interest in natural products lies in their often surprisingly strong and selective bioactivity. Many of them are therefore valuable as drugs in medicine, but also as diagnostic tools or for agricultural and even technical purposes: depending on the eld of application, 30%–60% of all medical drugs on the market are natural products or were inspired by structures derived from nature.1-3 It therefore makes sense to proceed with the isolation and identi-cation of new natural products, even if they are usually not applied in their original form, but may require optimization over many years before they are suitable for human utilization.
