Bioactive Natural products part J

Natural products play an integral and ongoing role in promoting numerous aspects of scientific advancement, and many aspects of basic research programs are intimately related to natural products. The significance, therefore, of the 29th volume in the Studies in Natural Product Chemistry series, edited by Professor Atta-ur-Rahman, cannot be overestimated. This volume, in accordance with previous volumes, presents us with cutting-edge contributions of great importance. - Volume 29 is part of a great family of useful reference books - Illustrates the types of critical discoveries that emerge from the interface of chemistry and biology - Contributions are from well-respected authors.
