This text describes the origin of drugs derived from natural sources - substances which are isolated from various oragnisms and used directly or after chemical modification. It examines the chemistry and biochemistry of such compounds as well as their employment in medicine. The material is arranged according to biosynthetic principles, a feature which places the substances in a natural context and facilitates the understanding and learning of what are often complicated chemical structures.
