Reihe: The Alkaloids

This series is world-renowned as the leading compilation of current reviews of this vast field. Internationally acclaimed for more than forty years, The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology, founded by the late Professor R.H.F. Manske, continues to provide outstanding coverage of this rapidly expanding field. Each volume provides, through its distinguished authors, up-to-date and detailed coverage of particular classes or sources of alkaloids.* Up-to-date reviews on a large and very important group of natural products from both a chemical and biological perspective. * Comprehensive dynamic reviews written by the leading authors in the respective fields. * Broader coverage than before on the biological aspects.
