Morris-Natschke Index 389 PREFACE Natural products have long been of interest to the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine, because of their immense molecular diversity, biological activities, and medicinal properties. Interdisciplinary studies have yielded further insights into the ecological significance, biological roles, and therapeutic potential of these important molecules. Containing carefully selected reprints from the award-winning Wiley Ency- clopedia of Chemical Biology as well as new contributions, this book features a collection of chapters on topics in natural products research. The chapters cover the diversity of natural products in plants, marine invertebrates, and microbes, the biosynthetic pathways of some major classes of natural products, and the role of natural products in drug discovery and medicine. Written by prominent scholars, this book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers, both in academia and industry, entering the field of chemical biology or related fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and pharma- ceutical sciences.

Leslie Gunatilaka Southwest Center for Natural Products Research, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona Plants contain numerous natural products (secondary metabolites) that may not partic- ipate directly in their growth and development but play an important role in ecological interactions with other organisms. Despite immense chemical diversity, which orig- inates from simple carbohydrates produced because of photosynthesis, plant natural products are formed from only a few biosynthetic building blocks that consist of acetate, mevalonate, and shikimate. These basic building blocks undergo a variety of biosynthetic transformations and combinations that lead to numerous classes of plant natural products including, but not limited to, carbohydrates, fatty acids and their esters, aromatic polyketides (phenols and quinones), terpenoids and steroids, phenyl propanoids (lignans and lignin, coumarins, flavonoids, and isoflavonoids), and alkaloids. Summarized in this chapter are representative members of these important classes of plant natural products with special emphasis on their chemical diversity. The chapter concludes
