Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 88 delves into the synthesis, biological evaluation, and pharmacological properties of natural products derived from both plant and animal kingdoms. Beyond coverage of medicinal properties and biosynthesis, the book highlights the diversity of chemical structures shaped by evolutionary processes. It underscores the role of genetic modulation over millennia in shaping these compounds and provides comprehensive accounts of breakthrough discoveries. The volume also discusses the integration of modern analytical methods, emphasizing their importance in accelerating research.

By offering both fundamental and advanced insights, this work serves as an essential reference for chemists, biologists, and pharmaceutical scientists aiming to explore and harness the potential of natural products. With the rapid evolution of spectroscopic and high-throughput screening technologies, this book helps researchers understand how to isolate and analyze the myriad chemical structures present in nature.
