Preface
The world is advancing at a fast pace like never before. Therefore, the need is to keep up with the latest developments.
This book was an idea that came to fruition when the specialists in the area realized the need to coordinate together
and document essential themes in the subject. That’s when I was requested to be the editor. Editing this book has
been an honour as it brings together diverse authors researching on different streams of the field. The book collates
essential materials contributed by veterans in the area which can be utilized by students and researchers alike.
Medicinal and natural product chemistry is generally considered as a discipline concerned with biological molecules
but it is essentially the chemistry of carbon compounds. A large number of organic compounds are either derived or
completely synthesized in laboratories. This book discusses many such advanced compounds, their manufacturing
processes, structures and properties. Some of the topics included are drug design to combinatorial synthesis and
parallel synthesis, applications of compound collections, compound preparation, molecular diversity assessments,
etc. The ever growing need for advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in this field in
recent times. Such selected concepts that redefine medicinal and natural product chemistry have been presented
in this book. The extensive content presented in the book provides the readers with a thorough understanding
of this subject. It will serve as a resource guide for professionals, researchers and students engaged in this field.
Each chapter is a sole-standing publication that reflects each author´s interpretation. Thus, the book displays a
multi-facetted picture of our current understanding of applications and diverse aspects of the field. I would like to
thank the contributors of this book and my family for their endless support.
