Biochemistry of the Stilbenoids (Hardcover, 1995 ed.)

Stilbenoids are formed by a particular branch of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. They are of special interest to natural product researchers for their roles in plant resistance to fungal pathogens, their general antibiotic properties and their cytotoxic and pharmacological effects. The first volume in The Biochemistry of Natural Products Series provides a comprehensive account of the distribution, chemistry, biological roles and uses of the stilbenoids. Detailed tables list the distribution of stilbenoids in major plant species and methods used for extracting and analysing stilbenoids are discussed. Biosynthetic pathways are reviewed and the possible biological role of stilbenoids is assessed. A concise coverage, this volume is written for those not specializing in natural product chemistry who are looking for an accessible, concise reference source. The work will be of interest to researchers in biochemistry, plant pathology, chemotaxonomy, pharmacology and natural product chemistry.
