The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology

Founded by the late R.H.F. Manske in 1950, with the aim of summarizing major developments in alkaloid isolation, structure elucidation, and biology, the series now has 60 volumes published. Continued by Dr. Arnold Brossi, and more recently by Dr. Geoffrey Cordell, of the University of Illinois at Chicago, The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology has expanded coverage to include reports of the chemotaxonomy, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and clinical applications of all classes of alkaloids from higher and lower plants, marine organisms, and various terrestrial animals.

Each volume provides, through its distinguished authors, up-to-date and detailed coverage of particular classes, sources, or biological activities of various alkaloid groups. Over the years, the series has become the standard in natural products chemistry and biology to which other natural product book series aspire. For all natural product chemists and biologists who have an interest in alkaloids, their diversity and chemistry and their unique biological profile, The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology, endures as an essential reference.
