Since cembranoids are not commercially available, it is necessary to obtain them from their natural sources: soft corals found in the tropical seas around Puerto Rico, or from tobacco. The Natural Products Core is a unique CMBN facility that will became a part of the SNRP to provide the cembranoids needed in Projects 1 and 2. This core will organize diving expeditions for collections of specimens, will isolate the compounds to high purity, prepare custom-tailored synthetic analogues, determine their molecular structures, and calculates energy-minimized three-dimensional conformations.

由于西松烷类化合物无法在商业上获得，因此必须从天然来源获得：波多黎各周围热带海洋中发现的软珊瑚，或从烟草中获得。天然产品核心是一个独特的CMBN设施，将成为SNRP的一部分，以提供项目1和2所需的西松烷类化合物。这个核心将组织潜水探险以收集标本，将化合物分离到高纯度，制备定制的合成类似物，确定它们的分子结构，并计算能量最小化的三维构象。
