Produktbeschreibung

Taxol is well-known as a powerful anticancer agent. In this volume, the authors provide an authoritative account of the taxoids. They cover taxoid chemistry, production, and biosynthesis from commercial cultivation to plant tissue culture methods, the analytical methods for identifying their structure, and the pharmacological and pre-clinical aspects important in investigating their therapeutic actions. The book presents a thorough review of the scientific literature, including data from scientists currently engaged in taxoid research, and is of significant value to researchers and others who wish to gain a practical perspective on taxoid research and development.
