Chemistry of Biologically Potent Natural Products and Synthetic Compounds

In view of their  promising biological and pharmaceutical activities, natural product  inspired and heterocyclic compounds have recently gained a reputation in  the field of medicinal chemistry. Over the past decades, intensive  research efforts have been ongoing to understand the synthesis,  biochemistry and engineering involved in their preparation and action  mechanisms.

Several  novel natural product derivatives, heterocyclic and other synthetic  compounds, have been reported to have shown interesting biological  activities including anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory,  anti-glycemic, anti-allergy and antiviral etc.

Chemistry  of Biologically Potent Natural Products and Synthetic Compounds  provides up-to-date information on new developments and most recent  medicinal applications of the natural products and derivatives, as well  as the chemistry and synthesis of heterocyclic and other related  compounds.
