Heterocyclic Antitumor Antibiotics (Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry)

From the reviews: "Heterocyclic antitumor antibiotics represent a broad class of natural products that are of widespread interest ... . Thus, a well-written, up-to-date account of progress in the study of such compounds is expected to be well received. ... this monograph certainly has sufficient scientific value to merit inclusion in most academic libraries and in industrial laboratories concerned with antibacterial and anticancer agent discovery. Individual researchers, on the other hand, might first wish to weigh the extent to which this far-ranging collection of reviews deals sufficiently with topics of specific interest to their research groups before acquiring a personal copy."
