For example, they posses analgesic drugs more potent than morphine and very effective anticancer agents. The present book gives an up-to-date overview of the main classes of bioactive compounds from molluscs, moving from ecological observations, to chemical characterization, to biosynthesis, to large-scale synthesis, and to pharmacological applications. A truly outstanding international panel of experts from all continents provides complete coverage of the most stimulating topics related to molluscs."--Jacket Analysis biochemie biochemistry dieren animals biotechnologie biotechnology mollusca Mollusca Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Mollusks.
