[EAN: 9780412270604], Neubuch, [PU: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom], Language: English. Brand new Book. Steroids are a significant class of compound which occupy a central role in science today. Their wide range of biological activity has led to a large number of steroids finding clinical use as anticancer drugs, anti-inflammatory agents, contraceptives, diuretics and cardioactive agents. This reference is a compilation of chemical, structural and bibliographic data on the most interesting and important steroids known. It should prove useful to chemists working in this field. Bound in two volumes, this dictionary presents physical and chemical data, biological source and medicinal uses of over 15,000 steroids in 6,500 entries. Documentation is comprehensive for natural steroids (human, plant and animal), for example bile acids, sterols and steroidal alkaloids. Coverage is given of synthetic and semi-synthetic steroids including those of medicinal interest and those used as starting materials in synthesis. Every entry is given its systematic name and a trivial name where appropriate. Bibliographic data for each entry has been labelled to indicate content.The current literature has been reviewed until September 1990 and while a small proportion of entries have come from the "Dictionary of Organic Compounds" these have been enlarged and updated; the majority are new with coverage of natural products. The indexes, which are bound in a separate volume for convenience, include Name, Molecular Formula, Type of Compound, CAS Registry Number and species. In the Type of Compound Index entries are arranged according to steroid ring structure or biological activity (for example pregnanes and andostranes) thus allowing steroids of a particular type to be easily found and compared. The Species index allows rapid access to the data using the botanical or zoological name. This book should be a useful reference source for steroid biochemists, natural product chemists, bile acid researchers, and medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists.<

This dictionary, the first extensive compilation since Fieser's Steroids in 1959, is one of a uniform series derived from the Chapman & Hall Chemical Database. For the first time bibliographic, structural and chemical data on over 10,000 of the most important steroids has been brought together to provide an invaluable reference work for chemists working in this field. The dictionary documents all known naturally occurring steroids (sterols, bile acids, sapogenins, cardanolides, bufanolides, steroidal alkaloids) and an extensive selection of the most important synthetic and semisynthetic steroids. The presentation of data is uniform with the established Dictionary of organic compounds, fifth edition, with accurately drawn diagrams showing stereochemistry and comprehensive, labelled bibliographies giving rapid access to primary literature sources. A small proportion of entries are based on entries in the Dictionary of organic compounds which have been substantially expanded and brought up to date with references to the recent literature (coverage up to August 1990). The majority are wholly new with particularly strong natural product coverage. Access to this information is provided by name, molecular formula, CAS registry number, type of compound, and species indexes--which comprise Volume 2. Annotation c.
