Studies in Natural Product Chemistry : Bioactive Natural Products, Part A (Studies in Natural Products Chemistry Vol. 13)
Studies in Natural Product Chemistry Bioactive Natural Products Part A - Studies in Natural Products Chemistry Vol. 13 Author:Atta-Ur Rahman Hardbound. Natural products chemistry has evolved with growing emphasis on isolating bioactive natural compounds. The synthetic programs are also directed towards bioactive natural products, many of which could hitherto only be obtained in small quantities from natural resources. However, they can be synthesised in much larger quantities. Moreov... more »er, new analogues may be prepared which will have a higher activity and lower toxicity than the parent compounds. The current volume specifically covers the field of such bioactive natural products. It presents research being carried out on a wide variety of compounds including fungal metabolites, anti-cancer alkaloids, oligonucleotides, bioactive terpenes, anti-tumor antibiotics, cytochalasans, indole alkaloids, flavors, biologically active carba-sugars, etc. The in-depth presentations on some of the current frontiers of natural product chemistry should prove to be of wide interest to all organic chemists.« less
