To identify bioactive natural products from various natural resources, such as plants and microorganisms, we investigated programs to screen for compounds that affect several cancer-related cellular signaling pathways, such as BMI1, TRAIL, and Wnt. This review summarizes the results of our recent studies, particularly those involving natural products isolated from microbial resources, such as actinomycetes, obtained from soil samples collected primarily around Chiba, Japan.
