Description

Fungal natural products are among some of the earliest described sources of bioactive compounds. Basidiomycetes have been a prolific source of compounds, particularly as a source of antibiotics and antifungals. Despite advances in target-based and synthetic methods for drug discovery, natural products continue to be an important source of novel compounds. This book is a comprehensive guide to many important fungal species with a focus on their phytochemistry, potential sources of bioactive compounds, known chemistry and toxicology. This book is an ideal companion to researchers and postgraduates in phytochemistry and�natural product pharmacology, and mycologists.Typham this is the title: Phytochemistry and Nutritional Composition of Significant Wild Medicinal and Edible Mushrooms Traditional Uses and Pharmacology 1st Edition
