Product Description Natural products play an integral and ongoing role in promoting numerous aspects of scientific advancement, and many aspects of basic research programs are intimately related to natural products. The significance, therefore, of the 29th volume in the Studies in Natural Product Chemistry series, edited by Professor Atta-ur-Rahman, cannot be overestimated. This volume, in accordance with previous volumes, presents us with cutting-edge contributions of great importance. - Volume 29 is part of a great family of useful reference books - Illustrates the types of critical discoveries that emerge from the interface of chemistry and biology - Contributions are from well-respected authors Review "In summary, this volume and the series remain an important addition to the library of practicing medicinal, organic, and natural products chemists." Kuo-Hsiung Lee, Natural Products Laboratory, School of Pharmacy, North Carolina, USA, JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 47, No. 14, 2004 " Once again Atta-ur-Rahman has produced another excellent volume in the now extremely well established series "Studies in Natural Products Chemistry". Refreshingly, these contributions are truly global in scope, reflecting the efforts of groups in 11 countries. The well-established quality of the series is certainly maintained in this volume, and, as in previous volumes, there is an excellent fusion of chemistry, structure elucidation, synthesis and biology in the various chapters, clearly aimed at engaging a diverse audience. A very comprehensive subject index (95 pages) concludes the volume. In summary, this is another superb volume in a highly valuable series on natural products for which Professor Atta-ur-Rahmna is once again to be congratulated. G.A.
