Abstract

Application of a mechanism-based anticancer bioassay employing DNA repair-or recombination-deficient mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for screening and subsequent bioassay-guided fractionation of bioactive higher plant and bryophyte extracts led to the isolation of a variety of natural products with potential anticancer activity. Presented herein are interesting structural features of some representative examples of natural products active in our mechanism-based bioassay and cytotoxicity assays along with structure-activity relationships of synthetic analogs of some of them.
