About the Book : The Book provides the basics of biosynthesis alongwith a few representative secondary metabolite pathways. The study of biosynthetic pathways is useful either to develop synthetic, semi-synthetic new moieties or bring out bio-transformations. In the new edition, biosynthetic pathways of vitamin B12, folic acid, Reserpine, imidazole alkaloid-pilocarpine have been added. The Book caters to the needs of graduate and post graduate pharmacy students , it is also useful for students of Pharmacognosy, Natural Chemistry and Botany. | Table of Contents : "1.
