Natural products play crucial roles in modern drug development, and constitute a prolific source of novel lead compounds or pharmacophores for ongoing drug discovery programs. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Naturally Occurring Bioactive Compoundspresents cutting-edge research in the chemistry of bioactive natural products and demonstrates how natural product research continues to make significant contributions in the discovery and development of new medicinal entities.
In 21 chapters, this book highlights chemistry and pharmaceutical potential of natural products in modern drug discovery processes, and covers the synthesis and semi-synthesis of potentially bioactive natural products. Written for phytochemists, synthetic chemists, combinatorial chemists, as well as other practitioners and students in related fields, the book features chemical advances in naturally occurring organic compounds and describes their chemical transformations and structure–activity relationships.
"This title is of immense interest to researchers in the life sciences …[T]he book does provide more than 550 pages of information in 21 chapters focused on various compounds or classes thereof… In summary, most chapters of the book are well founded scientifically, with descriptions of recent research advances."
—John Thor Arnason, PhD, director of biopharmaceutical sciences, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in HerbalGram, The Journal of the American Botanical Council
‘This text could be used by phytochemists, medicinal chemists, and other natural products researchers. It is possible to be used by graduate students as a reference… Libraries supporting research or education efforts in natural products may find this beneficial for their reference shelf.’
– Robert J. Krueger, Ferris St. University Big Rapids United States, for the J. Nat. Prod. 2018, 81, 216−216.
‘This interesting book written by eminent chemists expert in the extraction and synthesis of natural bioactive ingredients, reports the relationship between the structure-activity of different compounds, focusing the attention on the state-of-the-art of their pharmaceutical effectiveness and safeness. For the accuracy of chemical activities and methodologies of production and control of the natural products reported, the book may be of high utility for specialists of the chemical and medical community who like to deepen chemistry and pharmacology of the plant ingredients as well as for students in chemistry who desire to enter in this fascinating field.’
