✦ Synopsis

Bioactive Natural Products covers all the aspects of bioactive natural product research from ethnobotanical investigations to modern, technologically assisted isolation and structural determination of active compounds. An internationally selected group of experts share their knowledge of a wide range of bioactivities and chemical compound classes.Topics in the chapters describing the modern application of detection, isolation, and structural determination techniques are strongly supported by chapters detailing and reviewing research involving various classes of bioactivity. Research areas include the immunomodulatory, antiviral, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and insect behavior classes of bioactivity.Extensive referencing throughout the text is helpful to those readers not familiar with this subject and serves as a critical review for more experienced researchers. The book is also excellent for upper division or post-graduate courses.
