Biosynthesis of Heterocycles

This book describes biosynthetic methods to synthesize heterocyclic compounds, offering a guide for the development of new drugs based on these important compounds.
After an introduction discussing synthetic pathways to illustrate the basics of biosynthesis, the authors explain natural products in chemistry and their formation along with important analytical methods and techniques for working with heterocycles - including isotopic labelling, enzymes and mutants, and pathway identification. Subsequent chapters describe heterocycle biosynthesis starting from natural products, with particular attention to bioactive molecules.
