Newly discovered compounds through bioprospecting are screened for cytotoxicity, and many of them are found to be highly toxic. Because they are often not specifically toxic only against cancer cells, they are not further studied. These new compounds could be of further interest by temporarily masking a functional group which regulate the anticancer activity of a cytotoxic compound. This means that ...
