Exploring the Chemistry of Natural Products: From Alkaloids to Terpenes
Author(s): Hamid Nasiri*
Nature has always been a treasure trove of chemical compounds, many of which have been harnessed for their medicinal, culinary and industrial
applications. From the ancient use of plants and minerals in traditional medicine to the modern isolation and synthesis of complex molecules,
the study of natural products has been integral to the advancement of chemistry and its practical applications. Natural products are chemical
compounds produced by living organisms, typically of plant, animal, or microbial origin. These compounds often serve crucial roles in the organisms
that produce them, such as defense mechanisms or communication signals. Due to their complexity and diversity, natural products have been a
rich source of inspiration and innovation in chemistry... Read More»
