Chemistry and Technology of Plant Substances: Chemical and
Biochemical Aspects demonstrates the progress and promise of
developing new chemical substances from renewable sources of
chemical raw materials. The volume brings together new achievements
in the field of research and processing of plant raw materials and
the synthesis of natural compounds for the production of
biologically active substances and drugs. The volume looks closely
at the rational use of renewable raw materials, which is the source
of new compounds and intermediates for the chemical industry. It
covers a wide range of problems associated with the use of the
components of plants to produce new substances with a wide variety
of purposes. According to the latest estimates, plants form about a
million chemical substances. In some cases, plant products have
pharmacological or biological activity that can be of therapeutic
benefit in treating diseases. In addition, due to the structural
diversity of plant material, chemical synthesis is easily
reachable. Synthetic analogs of natural products with improved
potency and safety can be prepared by chemical synthesis. Such
synthetic analogs are safer for humans. Plant materials are often
used as starting points for drug discovery. Chemistry and
Technology of Plant Substances: Chemical and Biochemical Aspects
presents the theoretical trends and recent practical achievements
on complex processing of plant-based raw materials. Low molecular
weight components, isolated from plant material, are widely used in
fine organic synthesis. High molecular weight polysaccharides of
conifers and other greens, such as pectin and hemicellulose, are
the basis for the creation of anticoagulants and other drugs. The
range of research papers presented in the book is quite wide: from
fundamental and applied problems of wood chemistry and organic
synthesis to biological activity of natural compounds. The book
provides valuable information for those skilled in organic
chemistry, chemical engineers, researchers and scientists as well
as for faculty and upper-level students. This volume, Chemistry and
Technology of Plant Substances: Chemical and Biochemical Aspects,
was created on the initiative of Emanuel Institute of Biochemical
Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) and the
Institute of Chemistry of Komi Scientific Center of Ural Branch of
the Russian Academy of Sciences (Syktyvkar).
