HPLC-based activity profiling for pharmacologically and toxicologically relevant natural products – principles and recent examples

Context: Discovery of pharmacologically active natural products as starting points for drug development remains important and, for reasons of consumer safety, the identification of toxicologically relevant compounds in herbal drugs. Objective: To explain, with the aid of relevant examples from our o...
