_Medicinal Natural Products: A Biosynthetic Approach, Third Edition_,
provides a comprehensive and balanced introduction to natural products
from a biosynthetic perspective, focussing 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.
There have been rapid advances in biosynthetic understanding over the
past decade through enzymology, gene isolation and genetic
engineering. _Medicinal Natural Products_ has been extended and fully
updated in this new edition to reflect and explain these 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: A Biosynthetic Approach, Third Edition,_
is an invaluable textbook for students of pharmacy, pharmacognosy,
medicinal chemistry, biochemistry and natural products chemistry.
