Studies in Natural Products Chemistry

Natural products present in the plant and animal kingdom offer a diversity of chemical structures which are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. This title covers the synthesis or testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products.
Natural products present in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures which are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate, and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting new opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry. The series also covers the synthesis or testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products.
