Description

This volume provides comprehensive reviews of the chemistry and biological properties of the various classes of alkaloids. The scope of the volumes in this series includes structure elucidation, synthesis, biogenesis, pharmacology, physiology, taxonomy, spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography of alkaloids. Some chapters include treatment of several subjects such as structure of elucidation, synthesis and pharmacology, whereas other chapters treat a single aspect of alkaloids.

Table of Contents

• Chemistry, Biology, and Therapeutics of the Mitomycins
• Alkaloids of Tabernaemontana Species
• Advances in Alkaloid Total Synthesis Via Iminium Ions, Aminocarbanions and Aminoradicals
• The Biosynthesis of Protoberberine Alkaloids
• Quinoline, Acridone and Quinazoline Alkaloids: Chemistry, Biosynthesis and Biological Properties.

Volume

v. 4 ISBN 9780471893011

Description

For centuries, human inhabitants of Central and South America have poisoned blow darts with alkaloids they extract from the brightly coloured frogs of the rain forests. Volume 4 of Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives examines these and the more than 200 alkaloids produced by amphibians. This volume covers the properties of various classes of alkaloids that are remarkable from the standpoint of structure and biological activity and that are produced in nature by amphibia.

Table of Contents

• Amphibian Alkaloids: Chemistry, Pharmacology, And Biology
• Marine Alkaloids And Related Compounds
• The Dimeric Alkaloids Of The Rutaceae Derived By Diels-Alder Addition
• Teratology Of Steroidal Alkaloids
• Subject Index
• Organism Index.
