The present volume reflects these developments, and there is a growing emphasis on bioactive natural products. Articles in this volume include those on structure-activity relationships of highly sweet natural products, chemical constituents of cchinodenns, diterpenoids from Rabdosia and Eremophila sp., structural studies on saponins, marine sesquiterpene quinoncs and antimicrobial activity of amphibian venoms. The reviews on bioactive metabolites of Phomopsis, cardenolide detection by ELISA, xenocoumacins and bioactive dihydroisocoumarins, CD studies of carbohydrate-molybdate complexes, oncogene function inhibitors from microbial secondary metabolites and Gelsemium and Lupin alkaloids present frontier developments in several areas of natural product chemistry. It is hoped that the present volume, which contains articles by eminent authorities in each field, will be received with the same enthusiasm as the previous volumes of this series. [Pg.594]
