  Synopsis Details Contents Reviews  
For centuries, human inhabitants of Central and South America have poisoned blow darts with alkaloids they extract from the brightly coloured frogs of the rain forests. Volume 4 of Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives examines these and the more than 200 alkaloids produced by amphibians. This volume covers the properties of various classes of alkaloids that are remarkable from the standpoint of structure and biological activity and that are produced in nature by amphibia.
