Description
The present volume covers developments on a broad front of natural products chemistry. The first few chapters are concerned with developments in mass spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism, highlighting their applications to structure elucidation of natural products. The next few chapters present work carried out on the isolation and structure elucidation of new natural products from medicinal plants and liverworts. The last three chapters are devoted to polysaccharides from protozoa, biotechnology, and biosynthetic studies in plant tissue culture. All the authors are well known for their prolific and important contributions to this field, and their articles will be of interest to a large number of organic chemists, phytochemists, medicinal chemists and biochemists.

Description
This is the second book in the series to cover structure elucidation of new natural products. It deals with the applications of modern spectroscopic techniques with particular reference to biologically important natural products including coumarinolignans, flavonoids, furanonaphthoquinones, antimalarials (e.g. artemisinin), quassinoids, triterpenes, isoquinoline alkaloids, indole alkaloids, insect pheromones, polysaccharides from fungi and lichens and marine natural products. Other areas covered are those involving studies of carcinogenicity of estrogens, lignans biosynthesis, oligo (N-methylpyrrolecarboxamide) antibiotics, polyketide antibiotics, antitumor, antifungal and herbicidal antibiotics, sterols, carotane sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpene quinones, prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors and avian hemoglobins. The authoritative articles from leading natural product chemists should provide a wealth of informative material for research work in this field.
