Abstract

Internationally acclaimed for more than 40 years, this serial, founded by the late Professor R.H.F. Manske, continues to provide outstanding coverage of the rapidly expanding field of the chemotaxonomy, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, and biology of all classes of alkaloids from higher and lower plants, marine origins, or various terrestrial animals. Each volume provides, through its distinguished authors, up-to-date and detailed coverage of particular classes or sources of alkaloids. Over the years, this series has become the standard in natural product chemistry to which all other book series aspire. The Alkaloids, Chemistry and Pharmacology endures as an essential reference for all natural product chemists and biologists who have an interest in alkaloids, their diversity, and their unique biological profile.
"Authoritative, precise, thorough, and above all, permeated with enthusiasm."
--JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES
"The most authoritative treatise on alkaloids."
--JOURNAL OF NATURAL PRODUCTS
"An indispensable addition to the library of anyone in the field of alkaloid chemistry."
--JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
"Another splendid addition to the series, with congratulations to the editors and authors in maintaining standards and giving us an opportunity to read concise, updated reviews on three areas of alkaloidal research, namely, toxins from spiders and wasps,the morphinoids, and alkaloids from club mosses."
