Riassunto

This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status of and future trends in natural products―a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and biology concerned with isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and chemical characteristics of naturally occurring compounds such as pheromones, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes. With more than 1,800 color figures, Comprehensive Natural Products II features 100% new material and complements rather than replaces the original work (©1999).

• Reviews the accumulated efforts of chemical and biological research to understand living organisms and their distinctive effects on health and medicine
• Stimulates new ideas among the established natural products research community―which includes chemists, biochemists, biologists, botanists, and pharmacologists
• Informs and inspires students and newcomers to the field with accessible content in a range of delivery formats
• Includes 100% new content, with more than 6,000 figures (1/3 of these in color) and 40,000 references to the primary literature, for a thorough examination of the field
• Highlights new research and innovations concerning living organisms and their distinctive role in our understanding and improvement of human health, genomics, ecology/environment, and more
• Adds to the rich body of work that is the first edition, which will be available for the first time in a convenient online format giving researchers complete access to authoritative Natural Products content

Recensione:

Advanced praise for Comprehensive Natural Products II: Writing in the preface, renowned natural products chemist Koji Nakanishi praises “Lew Mander and Hung-Wen (Ben) Liu for having assembled an extraordinary team of editors for the nine volumes, who in turn have brought together top natural products scientists to review the respective topics...CONAP II should not be regarded merely as a reference source. Instead, one can take it from the bookshelf, flip through the pages, and go through some sections for one’s entertainment and knowledge enhancement.

Reviews of the first edition: "A marvelous and monumental piece of work." --Journal of the American Chemical Society

"This work is essential for libraries at institutions where natural product research is seriously pursued or contemplated." --Choice

L'autore:

Lew Mander was born in Auckland, New Zealand, where he completed his BSc and MSc (hons.) degrees at the University of Auckland (the latter with R. C. Cambie). After moving to Australia, he obtained his PhD in 1964 for his research on the structures of the Galbulimima alkaloids at the University of Sydney under the supervision of C. W. Shoppee, E. Ritchie, and W. C. Taylor. After 2 years of postdoctoral studies with R. E. Ireland, initially at the University of Michigan and then at the California Institute of Technology, he returned to Australia as a lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Adelaide. He moved to the Australian National University in 1975 as a senior fellow in the Research School of Chemistry where he was subsequently appointed Professor in 1980, serving two periods as Dean (1981-85; 1992-95) and recently made emeritus. He was a Nuffield Fellow at Cambridge University in 1972 with A. R. Battersby, and a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the California Institute of Technology in 1977 and at Harvard University in 1986 (with D. A. Evans on both occasions), an Eminent Scientist of RIKEN, Saitama, Japan (1995-96), and a Distinguished Alumnus Professor, University of Auckland (1992). Also, he has been a visiting professor at the universities of Sydney, Cambridge, Alberta, Colorado, and Canterbury (New Zealand). He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and The Royal Society (London). His research interests are concerned with the development of methods and strategies for the assembly and manipulation of complex natural products with a special interest in the role of gibberellins in plant growth and development.
