In spite of this fact, no book published in recent years has brought together the disparate information on anticancer natural products that is currently scattered throughout the chemical, biological, and medical literature. The most recent book to do this was Anticancer Agents Based on Natural Product Models, edited by John Cassady and John Douros, but this text was published in 1980 and is now sadly out of date. The present book covers the current clinically used anticancer agents that are either natural products or are clearly derived from natural product leads. In addition, a number of drug candidates that are in clinical development are also covered, albeit more briefly, as many of these will be clinically used drugs in the future. It is expected that this volume will appeal to several classes of reader. It will be of interest to natural products chemists, medicinal chemists, and pharmacognosists as an important reference work in their area of interest. It will appeal to synthetic organic chemists as a source of information on challenging synthetic targets. It will also appeal to oncologists as a source of background information on the drugs they use, although it is not intended as a primary clinical text. Some of the key features of the book include up-to-date coverage of a field that is scattered among many different journals and review articles, inclusion of information on drugs in clinical development, and authorship by leading scientists on each drug; in some cases the drug developer or a close associate is the chapter author. These features should give the book real value for scientists looking for information on the next generation of anticancer drugs. The editors express their appreciation to the staff of Taylor & Francis for their excellent help, especially Randi Cohen, Erika Dery, Lindsey Hofmeister, and Jay Margolis. The volume is dedicated to the memory of those scientists who have blazed the trail to successful natural products-based anticancer drug development, including Drs. John Douros, John Faulkner, Jonathan Hartwell, Morris Kupchan, Paul Scheuer, Matthew Suffness, and Monroe Wall. May their tribe increase! Gordon M. Cragg, David G. I. Kingston, and David J. Newman Frederick, MD, and Blacksburg, VA Copyright © 2005 CRC Press, LLC 1863_C000.fm Page vii Thursday, May 12, 2005 10:12 AM Editors Gordon M. Cragg was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and obtained his undergraduate training in chemistry at Rhodes University before proceeding to Oxford University, where he obtained his D. Phil. in organic chemistry in 1963. After 2 years of postdoctoral research in natural products chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, he returned to South Africa to join the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. In 1966, he was appointed to the staff of the Department of Chemistry at the University of South Africa and transferred to the University of Cape Town in 1972. In 1979, he returned to the United States to join the Cancer Research Institute at Arizona State University, working with Professor G. Robert Pettit on the isolation of potential anticancer agents from plant and marine invertebrate sources. In 1985, he moved to the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and was appointed Chief of the Natural Products Branch in 1989. His major interests lie in the discovery of novel natural product agents for the treatment of cancer and AIDS. He has been awarded National Institutes of Health Merit Awards for his contributions to the development of the drug, taxol (1991), leadership in establishing international collaborative research in biodiversity and natural products drug discovery (2004), and contributions to developing and teaching NIH technology transfer courses (2004). In 1998–1999 he served as President of the American Society of Pharmacognosy, and was elected to honorary membership of the society in 2003. He has established collaborations between the National Cancer Institute and organizations in many countries promoting drug discovery from their natural resources. He has given over 100 invited talks at conferences in many countries and has published more than 140 papers related to these interests. David G. I. Kingston was born in London, England, and obtained both his undergraduate and graduate training in chemistry at Cambridge University. His graduate supervisors were Lord Todd and Dr. D. W. Cameron, and his Ph.D. research was on the chemistry of the aphid pigments; he completed his Ph.D. degree in 1963. He then did 3 years of postdoctoral research; one in the Division of Biochemistry at MIT under Professor J. M. Buchanan and two back at Cambridge, where he was a Research Fellow of Queens College and worked with Lord Todd, Franz Sondhe- imer, and Dudley Williams. He moved to the State University of New York at Albany in 1966 and then to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1971, where he currently holds the rank of University Distinguished Professor. He served as President of the American Society of Pharmacognosy in 1988–1989. His research interests are on the isolation and structure elucidation of novel natural products, especially those with anticancer activity, and on the chemistry and mechanism of action of tubulin-binding natural anticancer agents such as taxol, epothilone, and discodermolide, and he currently serves as the principal investigator of the Madagascar Interna- tional Cooperative Biodiversity Group. He received the Research Achievement Award of the American Society of Pharmacognosy in 1999 and was named Virginia Scientist of the Year in 2002. He has published over 280 papers and holds 14 patents. He is also an Elder in his church, the Blacksburg Christian Fellowship. David J. Newman was born in Grays, Essex. Initially he trained as a chemical analyst (Grad. RIC), followed by his being awarded an M.Sc. in organic chemistry (University of Liverpool), and then after time in the U.K. chemical industry, he obtained a D. Phil. in microbial chemistry from the University of Sussex in 1968. Following two years of postdoctoral studies on the structure of electron transport proteins at the University of Georgia, he worked for Smith Kline and French in Copyright © 2005 CRC Press, LLC 1863_C000.fm Page viii Thursday, May 12, 2005 10:12 AM Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a biological chemist predominantly in the area of antibiotic discovery. During this time, he obtained an M.S. in information sciences in 1977 from Drexel University, Philadelphia. He has worked for a number of United States-based pharmaceutical companies in natural products-based discovery programs in antiinfective and cancer treatments and joined the Natural Products Branch of the National Cancer Institute in 1991. He is responsible for the marine and microbial collection programs of the National Cancer Institute and, in concert with Gordon Cragg, for the National Cancer Institute’s Open and Active Repository programs. In 2003 he was awarded the National Institutes of Health Merit Award for his contributions to the development of potential anticancer agents from marine and microbial sources. His scientific interests are in the discovery and history of novel natural products as drug leads in the antiinfective and cancer areas and in the application of information technologies to drug discovery. In conjunction with Gordon Cragg, he has established collaborations between the National Cancer Institute and organizations in many countries promoting drug discovery from their natural resources. He has published over 60 papers, presented over 60 abstracts, holds 17 patents that are related to these interests, is both a UK Chartered Chemist and a UK Chartered Biologist, and is also an adjunct full professor at the Center of Marine Biotechnology, University of Maryland.
