- In July 1999, the congress "2000
Years of Natural Products Research - Past, Present and Future"
was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In this fifth joint meeting of
international societies of pharmacognosy and phytochemistry (American
Society of Pharmacognosy, ASP, Association Française pour
l'Enseignement et la Recherche en Pharmacognosie, AFERP, Gesellschaft
für Arzneipflanzenforschung, GA & Phytochemical Society of
Europe, PSE), a large number of participants from all over the world
discussed the latest achievements in the field of natural products
research.
Lectures held by the invited speakers have now been published in a
separate publication.
The articles deal with the state of the art in natural products
research, a reflection upon what has been achieved thus far and an
outlook into the future. A wide variety of the aspects involved in
natural products research is treated, e.g., traditional medicine,
biodiversity, chemotaxonomy, industrial applications, biosynthetical
pathways, analytical and separation techniques, high-throughput
screening, the biological function and use by man of secondary
metabolites, etc., etc. For an overview, see the table below.
