by DJ Collins, CCJ Culvenor, JA Lamberton, JW Loder, JR Price

Overview

This book gives details of alkaloid and anti-tumour screening by the CSIRO of nearly 2000 species, the pharmacological testing of the alkaloids of selected species, and the chemical fractionation of those species which had reproducible tumour-inhibiting properties.

The book includes 64 colour plates and over 400 line illustrations of chemical structures.
