1st Edition
by Goutam Brahmachari (Editor)
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 Compounds presents
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.
