Specific care and persistent treatment of the subjected matter throughout the various aforesaid chapters has been maintained strictly with particular references to: introduction, nomenclature, classification, chemical structures, extraction, isolation, characteristics features, constitution, and total synthesis of some selected cardinal constituents derived solely from the Natural Products. Most synthesis approaches of an array of discussed Natural Products have been explained adequately for the benefit and interest of the end-users of this unique complication of the Natural Products. The latest `Merk Index` forms the basis of almost all the Chemical Structures so that the brilliant students, teachers, researchers, and scientists involved deeply in mustering the complicated task of `Chemistry of Natural Products` into a rather easy, lucid, and simple comprehensive subject of great interest and fervor. The M.Sc. Students specializing in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology ,and other allied disciplines may find the present textbook a real pathfinder.
