Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Natural Products (Paperback)

Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Natural Products is a much awaited masterwork in its field. Targeted mainly to B.Pharm and M.Pharm students, this book will also be useful for the students of BSc and MSc organic chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry. This book, thus, aims at eliminating the inadequacy in teaching/learning of chemistry of natural products by providing enormous information about naturally obtained medicinally useful compounds.
