The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology, Vol. 64

Once again, this volume of "The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology" is comprised of four quite different chapters, from three different continents, on mechanisms of cytotoxic action, the calystegines, strychnine synthesis, and substituted quinoline alkaloids. This diversity reflects the need to see alkaloids as a class of natural product having tremendous biological potential and of continued broad scientific interest.
