Medicinal Natural Products, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide
providing information on all classes of natural products in
medicine. It builds upon fundamental chemical principles and
demonstrates a unique integration of plant, microbial and animal
natural products in one volume. The text guides the reader through
a wealth of diverse natural metabolites used in medicine with
sources, production methods, use as drugs and modes of action all
extensively covered. Taking a chemistry based approach it combines
traditional pharmacognosy with medicinal chemistry. The structure
is user-friendly and includes the acclaimed grey boxes on groups of
products and detailed mechanistic explanations.
