Böcker i Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives-serien

Features four important reviews of research on alkaloids. This title offers a comprehensive review of the carbon-13 and proton NMR shift assignments and physical constants of diterpene alkaloids and their derivatives. It summarizes advances in the synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, a class of naturally-occurring bases and neutral compounds.

Presents reviews of research on alkaloids such as developments in the chemistry and biology of alkaloids from amphibian skins. This title also provides a synopsis and tabulation of the hundreds of alkaloids that have been detected, with an emphasis on occurrence, structure, dietary origins, and biological activity.

Presents reviews on research on alkaloids. This book describes forty-six alkaloids from fifteen species of the genus Thalictrum, as well as 116 alkaloids of known structure from thirty-six species and subspecies of the genus. It also discusses isolation and structure elucidation, analysis, biosynthesis, cell culture, and pharmacology.

Acronycine, a potent antitumor agent, was discovered in the bark of the small Australian Rutaceous tree, Acronychia baueri Schott. This work presents a survey of the isolation, structure determination, methods of synthesis, and the biological properties of acronycine, as well as an account of natural and synthetic analogues of acronycine.
