One Line Description
Provides up-to-date information on new developments and most recent medicinal applications of the natural products containing heterocyclic and other related compounds.

Audience
The book will be used extensively by research scholars, scientists and postgraduate students working in the areas of medical science, pharmacy, natural products and organic synthesis.

Description
The increasing incidences of multidrug resistance toward conventional pharmaceuticals have increased the demand for the discovery and development of new drug candidates with novel action mechanisms. Natural products and their synthetic analogs have show interesting preclinical and clinical results as pharmaceuticals and have recently gained considerable attention in modern medicinal chemistry and drug design.
This book is organized into 13 important chapters that focus on the progress made by natural products and their synthetic analogs obtained directly from natural sources, as well as modified by synthesis/semi-synthesis procedures in medicinal chemistry as antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agents. The various methods for enhancing the secondary metabolite concentration for efficient drug design are also described.
