About this book
'Natural Compounds: Plant Sources, Structure and Properties' details the properties of over 7,500 chemical compounds of pharmacological interest found in plants. Each volume systematically covers occurrence of the compounds in plants, illustrations of chemical structures plus physical-chemical, spectral, and pharmacological data. Entries are indexed by plant name, subject, and pharmacological property. This provides unique coverage of information on compounds isolated from some 3,000 plants, including many from central Asia and Russia, that are not well known elsewhere. The entries for each compound share a similar format. The entries are preceded by tabulated information on the occurrence of the compounds in plants etc. The highly experienced team of compilers from the renowned Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances in Tashkent have expertly assessed the international literature and include data only when confident of its validity, e.g. excluding data where measurement processes cause degradation of the original compound.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This multivolume compendium features over 7,500 unique natural plant compounds … . Each volume is divided into two chapters; the first is organized alphabetically by plant family, subspecies, and their associated natural products, followed by references to their original discovery. The second chapter, alternatively organized by structural class, focuses on the physical, pharmacological, and spectroscopic properties of each compound. … Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers/faculty and professionals/practitioners.” (D. L. Jacobs, Choice, Vol. 51 (1), September, 2013)Bibliographic Information
