Press Release Title: A In-depth Exploration of Alkaloids and Other Nitrogen-Containing Derivatives in Medicinal Chemistry
About Book:
Bentham Science has released the 3rd volume of Medicinal Chemistry Lessons from Nature. The new volume, edited by Dr. Raja Chakraborty and Saikat Sen, presents a groundbreaking compendium of valuable insights into the realm of alkaloids and nitrogen-containing derivatives, ushering readers into a world of untapped potential in medicinal chemistry.
The pursuit of drug discovery from natural products is always challenging due to technical issues involving screening, isolation, characterization, identification, and optimization, which results in a decline in their pursuit by pharmaceutical companies. However, over the past few decades, the demand for natural products has been increasing, and researchers are concentrating on drug discovery from traditional medicinal sources.
Drug discovery from medicinal plants is considered a hot spot of research. A large number of drugs have been obtained from medicinal plants, and several others have been discovered by using phytochemicals as leads. Plants have historically proven their value as a major source of bioactive molecules and still represent an imperative pool for the discovery of novel drug leads.
This volume is a collection of important research in this field, which will strengthen scientific advancement in natural product-based drug discovery and will be helpful for the scientific community.
Medicinal Chemistry Lessons from Nature (Volume 3) offers a comprehensive account of:
- The structural diversity and synthesis of alkaloids and nitrogen-containing derivatives.
- Their natural occurrence and ecological roles in various plant and microbial sources.
- The impact of alkaloids in traditional medicine and indigenous healing practices.
- Cutting-edge techniques for isolation, purification, and identification of these compounds.
- Their potent pharmacological activities and therapeutic applications across diverse medical domains.
- The promise of alkaloids as inspiration for drug design and development.
