Computational approaches to drug development are rapidly growing in popularity and have been used to produce significant results. Recent developments in information science have expanded databases and chemical informatics knowledge relating to natural products. Natural products have long been well-studied, and a large number of unique structures and remarkable active substances have been reported. Analyzing accumulated natural product knowledge using emerging computational science techniques is expected to yield more new discoveries. In this article, we discuss the current state of natural product research using machine learning. The basic concepts and frameworks of machine learning are summarized. Natural product research that utilizes machine learning is described in terms of the exploration of active compounds, automatic compound design, and application to spectral data. In addition, efforts to develop drugs for intractable diseases will be addressed. Lastly, we discuss key considerations for applying machine learning in this field. This paper aims to promote progress in natural product research by presenting the current state of computational science and chemoinformatics approaches in terms of its applications, strengths, limitations, and implications for the field.

Self-awakening, waking up at a designated time decided before sleeping, could prevent failure in the blood circulation vessel system such as heart attack, acute increases in heart rate or blood pressure upon waking. Previous research showed that anticipatory changes occurred in heart rate prior to awakening from a short nap by means of self-awakening for young participants. However, the effects of self-awakening remained unclear for elderly people. The present study examined the effects of self-awakening on heart rate and blood pressure in a short afternoon nap (20 min) among the elderly. Nine participants [74.1 (SD = 5.01) years old] underwent both self-awakening and forced-awakening conditions. In the self-awakening condition, it was revealed that blood pressure gradually increased before the scheduled time of awakening, and that heart rate did not show a rapid increase at arousal. In contrast, forced-awakening induced acute increases in both heart rate and blood pressure. These results suggest that self-awakening facilitates a more smooth transition from sleep to wakefulness via autonomic activation before the time of self-awakening.
