A structurally diverse group, ranging from simple aliphatic carbon chains to high molecular weight proteins, natural products can usually be classified into one or more groups. The text describes these major types, including flavonoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, polyketides, and lipids, and it illustrates them with accurate chemical structures, demonstrating the biosynthetic relationships between groups. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides details of specialist natural products journals and journals in biochemistry, biology, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacy, pharmacology, and toxicology that may contain important information on natural products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes types of names that can be used for natural products, comprising functional parent names, trivial names, systematic names, semisystematic names, and semitrivial names\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers stereochemistry topics specific to natural products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents an overview of the natural world and its classification, focusing on organisms that are the richest sources of natural products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetails known types of natural product skeletons with their numbering, or where there are skeletal variations within the group, an illustration is given of a representative example compound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses carbohydrate nomenclature impacts on stereochemistry, and on the nomenclature of compounds other than mainstream carbohydrates\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews general precautions for handling chemicals in a laboratory environment, highlighting hazards resulting from the acute toxicological and pharmacological properties of some classes of natural products and hazards associated with the use of organic solvents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to being a companion resource to the DNP, the \u003cb\u003eNatural Products Desk Reference\u003c\/b\u003e provides you with a mass of other useful information which can sometimes be hard to track down.
