Spectroscopic Data of Steroid Glycosides : Volume 1

This book is the first work of its kind in the field of steroid glycosides. It serves as an essential reference guide containing spectroscopic, physical and biological activity data of over 3500 steroid glycosides, offering the structures and the data of the naturally occurring glycosides of steroids. An extra effort has been made to include the data from Chinese publications which are generally not available in the libraries of Western countries. All compounds are arranged according to the structure of the aglycone, and, in its own class, according to the increasing molecular weight, making this book extremely useful for the structure elucidation of new natural products, particularly glycosides. The book offers a practical desk reference for all scientists and students interested in steroid glycosides and their biological and medicinal importance.
