Description
Current discoveries and research into bioactive naturalproducts Medicinal Chemistry of Bioactive Natural Products provides amuch-needed survey of bioactive natural products and theirapplications in medicinal chemistry. This comprehensive referencefeatures articles by some of the world's leading scientists in thefield on discovery, structure elucidation, and elegant syntheticstrategies--developed for natural products--with an emphasis on thestructure activity relationship of bioactive natural products. Thetopics have been carefully chosen on the basis of relevance tocurrent research and to importance as clinicially usefulagents. Rather than attempting to be a comprehensive encyclopedia ofbioactive natural products, Medicinal Chemistry of BioactiveNatural Products guides the reader to the key developments in thefield. By providing not only practical detail but a historicalperspective on the chemistry and biology of the compounds underconsideration, the book serves as a handy resource for researchersin their own work developing pharmaceuticals, and as an inspiringintroduction for young scientists to the dynamic field of bioactivenatural products research. Enhanced by examples with updated research results, the discussioncovers such topics as: * The chemistry and biology of epothilones * Vancomycin and other glycopeptide antibiotic derivates * Antitumor and other related activities of Taxol and itsanalogs * The antimalarial properties of the traditional Chinese medicine,Quinghaosu (artemisinin) * Huperzine A: A natural drug for the treatment of Alzheimer'sdisease * The medicinal chemistry of ginkgolides from Ginkgo biloba * Recent progress in Calophyllum coumarins as potent anti-HIVagents * Plant-derived anti-HIV agents and analogs * Chemical synthesis of annonaceous acetogenins and theirstructurally modified mimics
