From deep-sea vents to the plant-choked jungles of Brazil and Malaysia, scientists are scouring the globe in search of the next natural product to cure some of our most intractable ills. Nature is a treasure trove of useful chemicals, and today’s pharmaceutical companies are hunting for life-saving agents in animals, plants, fungi and bacteria.

Indeed, nearly half of all drugs were originally derived from natural sources. For instance, the most widely used breast cancer drug, taxol, was developed from the bark of the Pacific yew tree.

Aggrastat, which inhibits blood clotting, is based on the venom of the saw-scaled viper from Africa.
