Biosynthesis of Natural Products
Biosynthesis of Natural Products is a comprehensive scholarly work that examines the biochemical and mechanistic pathways responsible for the formation of natural compounds in living organisms. The book systematically covers primary and secondary metabolism, enzyme reactions, stereochemical control, and biosynthetic routes of major natural product classes such as terpenes, steroids, alkaloids, shikimic‑acid derivatives, polyketides, and phenolic compounds.
Originally written in Italian, this edition is an English translation, edited by P. G. Sammes. The text integrates organic chemistry principles with biological context, making it a foundational reference for researchers and advanced students in organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacognosy, and natural product chemistry. The volume includes illustrations, extensive bibliographical references, and an index
