Thailand, alkaloids from the plants

Isoquinolines and Isoquinoline-Derived Alkaloids from the Plants of Thailand... 

This review will concentrate on work published in the last 20 years or so with the exception of a few background papers, since this is the period when most of the work on the chemistry of alkaloids from Malaysian plants have emerged. In writing this review we are mindful of the fact that it is somewhat artificial to suppose that flora ate respecters of national boundaries, hence the chemistry of the plants described in this chapter could very well be representative of similar flora found in other parts of the South East Asian region. In view of this, we will as far as possible and wherever appropriate, compare the occurrence of alkaloids with studies of similar plants from neighbouring countries, especially Thailand and Indonesia.
