Synopsis

Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 57, covers rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and advances in high-throughput screening techniques that have made it possible to rapidly isolate and determine the structures and biological activity of natural products in new drug development. The series also covers the synthesis of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Specific sections in this release cover broad-spectrum health protection of extra virgin olive oil compounds, synthesis of cardiac steroids and their role on heart failure and cancer, and more.

• Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products
• Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field
• Presents sources of new pharmacophores

About this title

From the Back Cover:

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 determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting 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, providing cutting edge accounts of the fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products.
