Description
Medicinal Natural Products, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive and balanced
introduction to natural products from a biosynthetic perspective, focusing on
the metabolic sequences leading to various classes of natural products. The
book builds upon fundamental chemical principles and guides the reader through
a wealth of diverse natural metabolites with particular emphasis on those used
in medicine: sources, production methods, use as drugs, semi-synthetic derivatives
and synthetic analogues, and modes of action are all extensively covered.
Rapid advances have been made in the last decade in gene isolation and genetic
engineering, leading to the elaboration of many biosynthetic pathways. Medicinal
Natural Products has been extended and fully updated in this new edition to
reflect and explain these new developments and other advances in the field.
It retains the user-friendly style and highly acclaimed features of previous
editions:
- a comprehensive treatment of plant, microbial, and animal natural products in one volume
- extensive use of chemical schemes with annotated mechanistic explanations
- cross-referencing to emphasize links and similarities
- boxed topics giving further details of medicinal materials, covering sources, production methods, use as drugs, semi-synthetic derivatives and synthetic analogues, and modes of action
Medicinal Natural Products, Third Edition, is an invaluable textbook for students of pharmacy, pharmacognosy, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry and natural products synthesis.
