Not since the late 1970s has a single work presented the biology of this heterogeneous group of secondary alkaloids in such depth. Alkaloids, a unique treatise featuring leaders in the field, presents both the historical use of alkaloids and the latest discoveries in &195; the biochemistry of alkaloid production in plants &195; alkaloid ecology, including marine invertebrates, animals, and plant parasites, and &195; alkaloids as antimicrobials and current medicinal use.
Highlights include chapters on the chemical ecology of alkaloids in host-predator interactions, and on the compartmentation of alkaloid synthesis, transport, and storage. An extraordinary amount of information is cross-referenced in tabular form, making this volume an excellent reference.
