Marini, Bettolo, G. B.: Recent flavonoid research - Recent developments in the chemistry of natural carbon compounds 5. (Budapest, 1973)
RECENT FLAVONOID RESEARCH This new volume of the series deals with a branch of organic chemistry which has great traditions in Hungary. The material has accumulated partly from the chemical lectures held at the 3rd Bioflavonoid Symposium (G. B. Marini-Bettolo: “On some Clt derivatives related to flavones”; L. Hörhammer, G. Aurnhammer and H. Wagner: “Synthesis of Citrus flavo nőid glycosides”; H. Wagner: “The antihepatotoxic agent of Silybum marianum Gaertn.”; D. M. Droumev and D. A. Pashov: “Effect of the flavonoid mixture isolated from Agrimonia eupatoria on the cardiovascular and vegetative nervous system”).The other part of the book gives a survey and summary of Hungarian chemical research on flavonoids from I960 until today (R. Bognár et al.: “Survey of the research on flavonoids” ; L. Farkas and Á. Major: “Research of flavonoid compounds 1957—1971”; F. Kállay: “The reactions of flavonoid compounds with hydrazines”). The volume will be of great interest to chemists engaged in the field of flavonoids and related compounds, and affords easy reference to those wishing to find some particular detail of Hungarian research in this group of organic compounds.
