A dictionary of natural products. This fourth supplementary volume includes new and updated entries. It should be of interest to natural product chemists and bioscientists. Also available as a substructure searchable CD-ROM.

This Dictionary draws and checks the structure diagrams to ensure their accuracy and consistency, and presents the data within entries of natural products in a logical manner which reconciles as far as possible inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the literature.

Containing fully authenticated data on virtually all known natural products, the Dictionary of Natural Products, main work, published in 1993 was the end result of over 12 years compilation and editing by a large team of contributors and the editorial staff of the Chapman & Hall Scientific Data Division. The resulting Dictionary contains 100,000 natural products and their derivatives organized into approximately 35,000 entries.

The Dictionary of Natural Products is the only comprehensive source of chemical data on natural products. It provides the busy scientist with fast access to chemical, physical, bibliographic, and structural data on over 139,000 natural products organized into more than 43,000 -virtually every natural product isolated and reported in the literature.

Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 64, covers the rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques that have made it possible to rapidly isolate and determine the structures and biological activity of natural products. The book highlights these new and exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry. As natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects, this book is an ideal resource on the material presented. - Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - Presents sources of new pharmacophores

The first of its kind, this dictionary defines more than 25,000 marine- natural products. It indexes each by chemical name, organism type, and compound type. Following a similar format to the Chapman & Hall Chemical Database, each entry includes biological source, chemical structure, physical properties, biological activity, and literature references. With an accompanying CD, this invaluable tool offers immediate access to information essential to the development of novel pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and marine anti-fouling agents derived from unique molecular structures of marine natural products.
