* Milk is a vital nutritional source for offspring of all mammals, including humans. In addition to its nutritional value it is a rich source of proteins, of which lactoferrin (Lf) is one. Lf is truly a multifunctional molecule which has been studied extensively over the past decades. It is best known for its ability to bind iron, which initially leads to the discovery of its antibacterial activity. *

* Plants produce a huge array of natural products (secondary metabolites). These compounds have important ecological functions, providing protection against attack by herbivores and microbes and serving as attractants for pollinators and seed-dispersing agents. They may also contribute to competition and invasiveness by suppressing the growth of neighbouring plant species (a phenomenon known as allelopathy). Humans exploit natural products as sources of drugs, flavouring agents, fragrances and for a wide range of other applications. Rapid progress has been made in recent years in understanding natural product synthesis, regulation and function and the evolution of metabolic diversity. It is timely to bring this information together with contemporary advances in chemistry, plant biology, ecology, agronomy and human health to provide a comprehensive guide to plant-derived natural products. *

* Medicinal Natural Products, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive and balanced introduction to natural products from a biosynthetic perspective, focusing on the metabolic sequences leading to various classes of natural products. The book builds upon fundamental chemical principles and guides the reader through a wealth of diverse natural metabolites with particular emphasis on those used in medicine: sources, production methods, use as drugs, semi-synthetic derivatives and synthetic analogues, and modes of action are all extensively covered.
・a comprehensive treatment of plant, microbial, and animal natural products in one volume
・extensive use of chemical schemes with annotated mechanistic explanations
・cross-referencing to emphasize links and similarities
・boxed topics giving further details of medicinal materials, covering sources, production methods, use as drugs, semi-synthetic derivatives and synthetic analogues, and modes of action *
