Insect-Associated Microorganisms as a Source for Novel Secondary Metabolites with Therapeutic Potentatural products or derivatives thereof. Mainly due to increasing resistance against these antibiotics there is an urgent need for novel bioactive natural products and several strategies are currently in use to find new compounds. In this chapter insects are suggested as a new and very promising sour

Potential Pharmaceuticals from Insects and Their Co-Occurring Microorganismsts which either are de novo synthesized by the insect or by associated microorganisms. Many of the structures show that potential pharmaceuticals can be found which may be used for human and veterinary medicine. Concerning the toxic terpene anhydride cantharidin it is demonstrated that synthetically
