Natural Products Chemistry: Plants of the Nigerian Savanna

This monograph presents the results of over fifteen years of fieldwork and laboratory research on the medicinal plants of the Nigerian Guinea Savanna. More than sixty plant species are documented with detailed phytochemical profiles, isolation procedures, and biological activity data. Each plant entry includes botanical description, traditional uses, extraction methods, identified secondary metabolites, and pharmacological studies. The work provides a valuable reference for natural product chemists, pharmacognosists, and traditional medicine researchers. The appendix contains tables of spectroscopic data (IR, NMR, MS) for key isolated compounds, making this an indispensable laboratory companion.
