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.
