Pharmaceuticals
by Stephen J. Cutler
Biologically Active Natural Products: Pharmaceuticals demonstrates the
connections between agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals and explores the use of
plants and plant products in the formulation and development of pharmaceuticals.
Experts from around the world examine a multitude of topics, including:
- evaluation
of extracts from tropical plants for potential anticancer activity and cancer
chemopreventive activity
- use of Chinese lacquer tree sap products as pharmaceutical intermediates
- new approaches to drug discovery from the rainforest
Features:
- Discusses fractionation of plants to discover substances that combat cancer
- Presents structure-activity relationships of antimalarials
- Includes plant-derived products and their analogs, with antitumor, anti-HIV, and antifungal activity
