Abstract
Thiazolines and their derivatives hold significant importance in the field of medicinal chemistry due to their promising potential as pharmaceutical agents. These molecular entities serve as critical scaffolds within numerous natural products, including curacin A, thiangazole, and mirabazole, and play a vital role in a wide array of physiological reactions. Their pharmacological versatility encompasses anti-HIV, neurological, anti-cancer, and antibiotic activities. Over the course of recent decades, researchers have extensively explored and developed analogs of these compounds, uncovering compelling therapeutic properties such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory effects. Consequently, thiazoline-based compounds have emerged as noteworthy targets for synthetic endeavors. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of recent advancements in the synthesis of thiazolines and thiazoline-based derivatives, along with an exploration of their diverse potential applications across various scientific domains.

Abstract
Recent advances in high-throughput, automated techniques combined with the identification of new therapeutic targets in genome sequencing and molecular biology have generated a need for a large collection of diverse heterocyclic scaffolds. This inspires toward the development of novel reaction sequences and linking strategies to generate libraries of diverse simple to complex heterocyclic systems. In this regard, combinatorial chemistry has emerged as an excellent technology platform for the rapid assembly of building blocks to synthesize complex molecular structures with great ease in a few synthetic steps. By means of the implementation of high-throughput screening for the biological evaluation of hits and leads, combinatorial libraries have become important assets in drug discovery and development. In the last two decades, the cyclorelease strategy that minimizes the chemical and tethering implications by releasing the intact desired target molecule in the final step of reaction has attracted much attention. Recently, a particular interest is developing in linking strategies, where loading and cleavage steps contribute to the complexity of the target structure rather than only extraneous manipulations. This review summarises the practical and high-yielding approaches of solid phase combinatorial synthesis for diverse high-purity heterocyclic skeletons of pharmacological importance involving the cycloelimination strategy.

Abstract
Natural products, their derivatives, and their analogues are among the most important sources for new drug candidates and tools for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry research. Therefore, there is a need for the development of efficient synthesis methods which give access to natural product derived and inspired compound collections. To meet this challenge, the requirements of multistep stereoselective syntheses, and the logic and methodology of natural product total synthesis need to be translated and adapted to the methods and formats for the synthesis of compound collections. Recent developments in the synthesis of natural product inspired compound collections having carbocyclic and heterocyclic scaffolds highlight the fact that this goal can be successfully attained. The progress made has paved the way for the integration of natural product inspired compound collections into medicinal chemistry and chemical biology research.

Abstract
Addressing drug-like/lead-like properties of biologically active small molecules early in a lead generation program is the current paradigm within the drug discovery community. Lipinski's "rule of five" has become the most commonly used tool to assess the relationship between structures and drug-like properties. Sixty percent of the 126 140 unique compounds in The Dictionary of Natural Products had no violations of Lipinski's "rule of five". We have isolated 814 natural products based on their expected drug-like/lead-like properties to generate a natural product library (NPL) in which 85% of the isolated compounds had no Lipinski violations. The library demonstrates the feasibility of obtaining natural products known for rich chemical diversity with the required physicochemical properties for drug discovery. The knowledge generated in creation of the library of structurally characterized pure natural products may provide opportunities to front-load lead-like property space in natural product drug discovery programs.

Abstract
Recently, we developed a concept known as biology-oriented synthesis (BIOS), which targets the design and synthesis of small- to medium-sized compound libraries on the basis of genuine natural product templates to provide screening compounds with high biological relevance. We herein describe the parallel solution phase synthesis of two BIOS-based libraries starting from alpha-santonin (1). Modification of the sesquiterpene lactone 1 by introduction of a thiazole moiety followed by a Lewis-acid-mediated lactone opening yielded a first library of natural product analogues. An acid-mediated dienone-phenol rearrangement of 1 and a subsequent etherification/amidation sequence led to a second natural product-based library. After application of a fingerprint-based virtual screening on these compounds, the biological screening of 23 selected library members against 5-lipoxygenase resulted in the discovery of four potent novel inhibitors of this enzyme.

Abstract
Natural products have withstood the test of time as therapeutics, but new lead-generation strategies have focussed away from natural products. A new approach that uses natural-product recognition to drive an understanding of biological space might provide an impetus for renewed focus on natural-product starting points. Protein fold topology (PFT) has been shown to be an underlying factor for natural-product recognition. An investigation of natural product inhibitors of the Zincin-like fold has demonstrated their capacity also to inhibit targets of different fold types. Analysis of crystal structure complexes for natural products cocrystallised within different fold types has shown similarity at the PFT level. Two new PFT(T) (where subscript T denotes PFT shared between therapeutic targets) relationships have been established: the Zincin-like- metallohydrolase/oxidoreductase PFT(T) and the Zincin-like-phosphorylase/hydrolase PFT(T). The PFT relationship between a natural product's biosynthetic enzyme and therapeutic target, and now between different fold targets of the same natural product, suggests that PFT is the simplest descriptor of biological space. This fundamental factor for recognition could facilitate a rational approach to drug development guided by natural products.

Abstract
A strategy aiming at the introduction of stereocenters into polymer-bound natural-product-derived and -inspired compound collections is presented. Treatment of immobilized aldehydes with Brown's pinene-derived allylboranes results in the stereoselective formation of homoallylic alcohols with up to 89 % ee (ee=enantiomeric excess). Subsequent iterative ozonolysis-allylation sequences with up to three allylations on a solid support give access to 1,3-polyols with different relative configurations. Esterification with acryloyl chloride and final ring-closing metathesis yields alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-lactones with multiply oxygenated side chains, a substructure found in a group of natural products with a broad range of biological activity. The flexibility of the approach is exemplified by the parallel synthesis of all eight diastereomers of cryptocarya diacetate on a solid support. The individual isomers are obtained in overall yields of 40-60 % over 10 steps and with 63-85 % diastereoselectivity for the major isomer.

Abstract
The generation of a natural-product-based library starting from andrographolide is described. Utilizing andrographolide itself in parallel solution-phase synthesis leads to a 360-membered library. The initial transformation of the starting material via ozonolysis is followed by the conversion into a suitable template by introduction of a thiazole moiety. Subsequent decoration at two points of diversity yields the desired natural product derivatives. The selection of actually synthesized compounds is based on a virtually generated library and the assessment of its members with respect to physicochemical parameters, thus ensuring pharmacological relevance of the compounds.

Abstract
The majority of all proteins are modularly built from a limited set of approximately 1,000 structural domains. The knowledge of a common protein fold topology in the ligand-sensing cores of protein domains can be exploited for the design of small-molecule libraries in the development of inhibitors and ligands. Thus, a novel strategy of clustering protein domain cores based exclusively on structure similarity considerations (protein structure similarity clustering, PSSC) has been successfully applied to the development of small-molecule inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and the 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases based on the structure of a naturally occurring Cdc25 inhibitor. The efficiency of making use of the scaffolds of natural products as biologically prevalidated starting points for the design of compound libraries is further highlighted by the development of benzopyran-based FXR ligands.

Abstract
Diversity-oriented synthesis is an intriguing approach for creating structurally diverse compounds that cover the pharmaceutically relevant chemical space in an optimal way. On the other hand, an over-proportionally large number of drugs or lead structures originate from compounds isolated from natural sources. Thus, not surprisingly, an increasing number of combinatorial libraries are based on motifs resembling natural products. A particular aspect of many natural products is the presence of non-aromatic, polycyclic core structures. The fusion of several rings leads to geometrically well-defined structures and, thus, holds the promise of a high functional specialisation. In this review we present several actual examples of natural product-like libraries with non-aromatic polycyclic motifs based on naturally occurring compounds.

Abstract
Recent advances in structural biology, bioinformatics and combinatorial chemistry have significantly impacted the discovery of small molecules that modulate protein functions. Natural products which have evolved to bind to proteins may serve as biologically validated starting points for the design of focused libraries that might provide protein ligands with enhanced quality and probability. The combined application of natural product derived scaffolds with a new approach that clusters proteins according to structural similarity of their ligand sensing cores provides a new principle for the design and synthesis of such libraries. This article discusses recent advances in the synthesis of natural product inspired compound collections and the application of protein structure similarity clustering for the development of such libraries.

Abstract
Natural products have a long history of success as biologically active leads for therapeutic agents. The ability to prepare analogues and to discover structure-activity relationships is necessary to truly harness the potential of natural products. Recently, combinatorial chemistry has risen to this challenge, and even fairly complex natural products can be targeted for parallel synthesis. Academic and industrial efforts have employed natural products from the peptide, alkaloid, polyketide, and terpenoid and steroid classes in combinatorial chemistry approaches for the production of medicinally important compounds.

Abstract
Although traditionally natural products have played an important role in drug discovery, in the past few years most Big Pharma companies have either terminated or considerably scaled down their natural product operations. This is despite a significant number of natural product-derived drugs being ranked in the top 35 worldwide selling ethical drugs in 2000, 2001, and 2002. There were 15 new natural product-derived drugs launched from 2000 to 2003, as well as 15 natural product-derived compounds in Phase III clinical trials or registration at the end of 2003. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in natural product research due to the failure of alternative drug discovery methods to deliver many lead compounds in key therapeutic areas such as immunosuppression, anti-infectives, and metabolic diseases. To continue to be competitive with other drug discovery methods, natural product research needs to continually improve the speed of the screening, isolation, and structure elucidation processes, as well addressing the suitability of screens for natural product extracts and dealing with issues involved with large-scale compound supply.

Abstract
Natural products are an attractive source of varied structures that exhibit potent biological activities, and desirable pharmacological profiles. Since the relatively recent advent of high-throughput organic synthesis in the drug discovery process, several design approaches have been applied to the construction of screening libraries. Libraries of natural-product derivatives, natural-product-like compounds prepared by total synthesis, and libraries derived from natural-products are several types that have been reported.
