Features: In the field of natural drugs, biotransformation can utilize its unique advantages as an effective means of producing and exploring more active compounds through structural modification. This book aims to elaborate on one of the most promising areas of this biotransformation application. The book is divided into three parts: microbial biotransformation of natural drugs, enzymatic biotransformation, and plant cell biotransformation. Starting with an introduction to basic content, it focuses on the applications, new technologies, and new methods related to the biotransformation, production, and structural modification of natural drugs. It is suitable for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, teachers, and researchers in fields such as bioengineering, organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and fine chemistry, as well as science and technology personnel in biochemical engineering, biotechnology, and related disciplines.
The book is divided into three parts (microbial biotransformation of natural drugs, enzymatic biotransformation of natural drugs, and plant cell biotransformation of natural drugs) to introduce and review the current research status of biotransformation in natural drugs. After introducing the basic theories and operations, it provides readers with detailed descriptions of representative conversion technologies and methods for some natural drugs in recent years. It holds significant reference value for undergraduate students, graduate students, and research and technical personnel in bioengineering, traditional Chinese medicine, natural drug, pharmaceutical chemistry, and other related fields.
The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the microbial biotransformation of natural drugs, basic knowledge of microorganisms, influencing factors of microbial biotransformation, and the microbial biotransformation of natural drugs.
