Zusatztext "It is an outstanding work and a valuable addition to any private research and scientific library. I also found it a wonderful work for browsing and looking at the multitude of flavonoids which have been isolated in the last decades."(Journal of Ethnopharmacology! Vol 75! 2001) Klappentext Flavonoids are a large and important group of natural products derived from 'flavone'. Some flavonoids are intensely coloured! providing a spectrum of colours from red to blue in flowers! fruit and leaves. Other flavonoids are essentially colourless! producing the 'whiteness' of white flowers. Besides their contribution to plant colour! flavonoids have a variety of other roles in the growth and development of plants. Leaf flavonoids provide protection from the potential damage of UVB radiation. Certain flavanones are formed as antifungal barriers in plant leaves in response to microbial infection and others play an important part in plant reproduction. Flavonoids also exhibit a wide range of biological properties including anti-microbial! insecticidal and oestrogenic activities. Edited by one of the world's acknowledged leading researchers in flavonoid chemistry and biochemistry! this book is the essential guide to the chemical structure and function of all known flavonoids and contains full references! CAS numbers! chemical structures! molecular formulae and several extensive indexes. The Handbook of Natural Flavonoids is the definitive reference to this large and important group of natural products for researchers in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry! plant biochemistry and organic chemistry. Zusammenfassung The flavonoids are a very large group of natural products and are derived from flavone, which is found in primula plants. Some flavonoids are intensely colored and provide a wide range of blue and red colors in flowers, fruits and leaves. Others, like the flavonones, are essentially colorless and yet they provide the "whiteness" of white flowers.
