Natural Products as Anticancer Agents introduces the different types of natural products that have been used for cancer treatment. Divided into four parts, covering anticancer agents derived from terrestrial plants, anticancer agents derived from the marine environment, and anticancer agents derived from microorganisms, as well as evaluation of new anticancer agents, each part includes discussion of the properties, synthesis/extraction, storage, mechanism of action, and usage of the molecules. Discussion of the future prospects in anticancer natural products-including several new trends and an indication of where research in this area is likely to go in the future-is also included.

Cancer is an incredibly diverse and difficult disease to treat, and even after decades of research there is no definitive cure. Heterocyclic anticancer agents are an important class of drugs for cancer therapies. This book explores different heterocycles and their use as anticancer therapies. Topics covered include different heterocyclic derrivatives, the impact of heterocycles on anticancer agent development, and naturally occuring heterocycles.

Organocatalysis are an important tool for greener catalytic processes due to the lack of precious metals used. This book explores different organocatalysts and their use in synthesis. Topics covered include zwitterionic imidazolium salt catalysts, asymmetric catalysts in aqueous media, beaker yeast catalysis, organocatalysts for Aldol and Michael reactions, amino acid-based organocatalysts, and Brönsted acidic surfactant organocatalysts.

Tellurium, a well-known chalcogen, finds potential applications in various fields from chemistry to other branches of science such as nanotechnology and macromolecular science. However, its safety must also be taken into consideration when exploring its industrial applications. This book explores the breadth of tellurium's applications, outlines strategies for industrial use, and describes the safety concerns of this element.
