    • Atta-ur Rahman
    • English
    Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 72 covers the synthesis or testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts on fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that 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 rapidly determine the structures and biological activity of natural products, hence the importance of this book.
