Bioactive Heterocyclic Compound Classes: Pharmaceuticals and Agrochemicals, 2 Volume Set

Due to the fact that a large number of natural products, such as hormones, antibiotics, and vitamins, are composed of heterocyclic structures, this is an important branch of organic chemistry. In these two volumes, each of the around 40 chapters covers one class of heterocycle, clearly structured as follows: ? Structural formulas of most important examples (market products) ? Short background of history or discovery ? Typical syntheses of important examples ? Mode of action ? Characteristic biological activity ? Structure–activity relationship ? Additional chemistry information ? References. A valuable one–stop reference source for researchers in academia and industry as well as for graduate students with career aspirations in the field of pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry.
