Containing fully authenticated data on virtually all known natural products, the Dictionary of Natural Products, main work, published in 1993 was the end result of over 12 years compilation and editing by a large team of contributors and the editorial staff of the Chapman & Hall Scientific Data Division. The resulting Dictionary contains 100,000 natural products and their derivatives organized into approximately 35,000 entries.

This Dictionary draws and checks the structure diagrams to ensure their accuracy and consistency, and presents the data within entries of natural products in a logical manner which reconciles as far as possible inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the literature.

A dictionary of natural products. This fourth supplementary volume includes new and updated entries. It should be of interest to natural product chemists and bioscientists. Also available as a substructure searchable CD-ROM.

Information from many disparate sources is brought together to create a unique desktop guide to the principles and practice of organic chemistry.

The first volume in a two-part set that discusses contemporary NMR approaches for the structure elucidation of natural products. It covers optimized hardware and experimental approaches.

While the study of the chemicals produced by plants is arguably one of the oldest of the natural product sciences, current global concerns regarding the disappearance of biodiversity, along with the availability of methodology for systematic genetic manipulation and plant tissue culture, have rekindled industrial interest in phytochemical screening. Phytochemical Diversity gives a comprehensive overview of recent discoveries and developments of new products from plants that have potential utility in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and cosmetic industries. It covers such areas as high throughput screening approaches for the discovery of novel phytochemicals, ethnobotanical drug discovery, comparisons of the chemical diversity available from plants and other natural sources, and adding value to phytochemicals through microbial biotransformations and synthetic approaches. It is particularly timely in its look at the ramifications of the recent UN Convention on Biological Diversity and its impact on the search for new industrial products from plants. This book provides a single source on developments in phytochemical research, with contributions from both academia to industry, and developing to developed countries, which will prove invaluable to bio-organic chemists, biotechnologists and those involved in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 64, covers the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques that have made it possible to rapidly isolate and determine the structures and biological activity of natural products. The book highlights these new and exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry. As 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, this book is an ideal resource on the material presented. Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field Presents sources of new pharmacophores
