Natural Product Reports Issue 6 is published on line

25 May 2011

In this issue you will find some of our regular reviews on natural products:

– Robert Hill‘s review on triterpenoids updates their previous review published last year.

– Zhon Jin publishes his two regular reviews:

Amaryllidaceae and sceletium alkaloids. You can also see the previous one here.
Muscarine, imidazole and thiazole alkaloids. Download the previous one here.

Apart from those reviews, you can also find Robert Hill and Andrew Sutherland‘s hot of the press. This month, they look at various aspects of current developments in bioorganic chemistry and novel natural products, such as salvileucalin C from Salvia leucantha.

Dean Tantillo talks about theoretical studies on terpene formation and Tohru Dairi helps us understand how nature solves the problem in the biosynthesis of small molecules.

Finally, Jesus Jimemez Barbero uses NMR methods to study the interaction between natural products and their receptors.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue.
