Ebook: Heterocyclic Antitumor Antibiotics

From the reviews:

"Heterocyclic antitumor antibiotics represent a broad class of natural products that are of widespread interest … . Thus, a well-written, up-to-date account of progress in the study of such compounds is expected to be well received. … this monograph certainly has sufficient scientific value to merit inclusion in most academic libraries and in industrial laboratories concerned with antibacterial and anticancer agent discovery. Individual researchers, on the other hand, might first wish to weigh the extent to which this far-ranging collection of reviews deals sufficiently with topics of specific interest to their research groups before acquiring a personal copy." (Gary I. Dmitrienko, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 129, 2007)

The series "Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry" will present critical reviews on "Heterocyclic Compounds" within topic related volumes dealing with all aspects such as synthesis, reaction mechanisms, structure complexity, properties, reactivity, stability, fundamental and theoretical studies, biology, biomedical studies, pharmacological aspects, applications in material sciences etc. Metabolism will be also included which will provide information useful in designing pharmacologically active agents. Pathways involving destruction of heterocyclic ring will also be dealt with so that synthesis of specifically functionalized non-heterocyclic molecules can be designed. Overall scope is to cover topics dealing with most of the areas of current trends in heterocyclic chemistry which will suit to a larger heterocyclic community.
