Primary metabolites are involved in basic life functions and are similar in all living cells, whereas secondary metabolites are derived from subsidiary pathways. Although traditionally referred to as secondary metabolites, more recently these compounds have been termed 'plant specialized metabolites', as the exact biochemical boundary between primary and secondary metabolites has not been fully established. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlant specialized metabolites are the main elements in the study and use of 'medicinal' plants and herbs, as well as in nutrition and food chemistry. In modern medicine, plant specialized metabolites provide many of the lead compounds in the production of medicines targeted at treating a broad variety of diseases. Such metabolites also play an important role in sessile plants to resist and withstand different biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant specialized metabolites are classified according to their chemical structures and this book will present the different classes in turn, while discussing their sources and distribution in plant families, their biosynthetic pathways, and their important and notable uses in phytochemistry and pharmacology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Diversity of Plant Specialized Metabolites\u003c\/strong\u003e will be a useful guide and reference point for chemists and students in many disciplines including synthetic organic chemists, medicinal chemists, plant scientists, pharmacognosists, chemical ecologists, bioengineers, and synthetic biologists, in addition to those working in related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bratati de\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837670455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837670451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Society of Chemistry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Bratati de","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44121996034303,"sku":"9781837670451","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aac848f7-5718-4db3-b071-56fec3362f0d.jpg?v=1687422550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chemical-diversity-of-plant-specialized-bratati-de-9781837670451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
