Alkaloids - Secrets Of Life
(Tadeusz Aniszewski)
Alkaloids-Chemistry, Biological Significance, Applications and Ecological Role
Alkaloids, represent a group of interesting and complex chemical compounds, produced by the secondary
metabolism of living organisms in different biotopes. They are relatively common chemicals in all kingdoms
of living organisms in all environments. Two hundred years of scientific research has still not fully explained the
connections between alkaloids and life.
Alkaloids-Chemistry, Biological Significance, Applications and Ecological Role provides knowledge on structural
typology, biosynthesis and metabolism in relation to recent research work on alkaloids. Considering an organic
chemistry approach to alkaloids using biological and ecological explanation. Within the book several questions
that persist in this field of research are approached as are some unresearched areas.
The book provides beneficial text for an academic and professional audience and serves as a source of knowledge
for anyone who is interested in the fascinating subject of alkaloids. Each chapter features an abstract.
Appendices are included, as are a listing of alkaloids, plants containing alkaloids and some basic protocols
of alkaloid analysis.
Of interest to chemists, biologists and ecologists, also serves as a source of knowledge for anyone interested in
alkaloids
