Description

Oxazole, Isoxazole, Benzoxazole Based Drug Discovery offers complete coverage of oxazole and related molecules, both from natural and synthetic origin, with a focus on the reaction mechanisms, and medicinal, pharmacokinetic and computational aspects. New and contemporary methods of synthesis are discussed, with a special focus on green, environment-friendly procedures. Discussion of stereochemical studies, particularly on natural molecules, are included. Computational chemistry has emerged as an integral tool for drug discovery, hence this book explains how the drug candidate is established as suitable for clinical trials with the help of molecular docking and virtual screening modeling.

This book offers a broad range of recent developments and detailed coverage of synthesis and biological activities of the drugs, and is an ideal reference guide to researchers working in organic and medicinal chemistry.

Key features

  • Presents detailed coverage of chemical structures and practical synthetic methods of oxazoles, isoxazoles and benzoxazoles in drug discovery
  • Includes green, environmentally-friendly novel synthetic methods and mechanistic insights
  • Features biological and computational aspects of the oxazoles family of drugs, including virtual screening and molecular docking

Readership

Researchers in organic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings, postgraduates in chemistry and medicinal chemistry, Researchers in pharmaceutical industries, chemical and pesticide industries
