Bioactive Natural Products

Bioactive natural products are proving to be a rich source of novel therapeutics to both protect against and combat diseases, as well as serve as lead compounds in crop protection. Following the successful format of the first edition, this volume brings together collective research from many new contributors and emphasizes the rationale behind the successful detection, isolation, and structure determination of specific compounds. The text encompasses a diverse range of techniques that can be applied to terrestrial and aquatic sources. It also allows you to understand how source material can be selected to enhance your opportunity to discover and utilize novel bioactive natural products. <P>New to the Second Edition- <P><STRONG>¿</STRONG>        Advances in the application of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, bioactive chemical  detection and extraction, dereplication, and novel bioassay development <P>¿      &n
