Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) focuses on small compounds, known as fragments, typically with a molecular weight of less than 300 Da. This study highlights the benefits of employing a pure natural product library for FBDD, contrasting with the predominant use of synthetic libraries. Practical methods for rapidly constructing such libraries from crude extracts were demonstrated across various plant and microbial samples. Twenty-nine (29) natural product fragments, including a new compound (20), were identified. Antimicrobial activities were assessed for a subset of the isolated compounds, revealing potent fragments (MICs 4–8 μg/mL) against Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Staphylococcus aureus (SA), and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Furthermore, a native mass spectrometry technique was introduced to rapidly identify non-competitive fragments against malarial proteins. As a result, two pairs of non-competitive fragments, lepiotin C (31) and 7-amino deacetoxy cephalosporanic acid (32) binding to dynein light chain 1, methyl gallate (33) and β-santanin (34) binding to dUTPase, were identified, serving as promising starting points for developing potent malarial protein inhibitors. |
