Naturally occurring compounds, or natural products, continue to be an important source of commercially successful products and leads in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and nutritional sectors. This set of books, aimed at medicinal chemists in academia and industry, provides an authoritative reference on natural product chemistry related to drug discovery.
Readers will find a broad range of important topics covered in this set from natural product biosynthesis and extraction to their use in pharmaceutical and other industries. The science of their application in both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, which is currently poorly understood in the west, is comprehensively covered.
