Over the past 50 years, more than 20,000 natural compounds have been identified in the marine environment, with an increasing focus on marine metabolites as potential sources for developing effective therapeutic agents. The field of marine drug discovery has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with numerous marine-derived therapeutic candidates in various stages of clinical trials or awaiting approval. The ocean is a potential source of natural products with diverse pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, commercializing marine natural products has been challenging due to low yields and specificity of specialized (secondary) metabolites. Marine Specialized (Secondary) Metabolites and their Diverse Applications provides a broad overview of marine specialized metabolites and their potential in various industries. With comprehensive coverage, relevance to current trends, interdisciplinary approach, and practical applications, this book includes specific compounds or organisms, with a particular focus on addressing the challenges and limitations associated with them.

Triazole Chemistry and Nanotechnology: A Merger for a New Revolution covers recent examples of triazole-based nanotech formulation and its applications in sustainable agriculture, target-specific medicine, eco-textiles and food and environmental monitoring. Triazoles are 5-membered heteroaromatic ring structures containing three nitrogen atoms. Highlighting the ever-widening scope of triazole chemistry and nanotechnology across a range of scientific disciplines, this book discusses the importance of triazole chemistry and its application in nanotechnology to R&D with the purpose of economically viable, eco-friendly and sustainable product development.Both 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-isomers are widespread in biologically active compounds and functional materials, and as a consequence, their synthesis, reactivity and properties have been of high interest over the last two decades. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in medicinal and synthetic chemistry as well as those using heterocycles in their research or product development.

Basic to Modern Strategies of Synthetic Organic Chemistry offers fresh perspectives and interests to professionals engaged in organic synthesis in various fields. The book starts with sections for review and understanding of reactions and proceeds with more in-depth knowledge in organic synthesis, including examples of total synthesis. Sections provide a systematic learning of organic reactions, with a focus on the relatively simple yet somewhat complex approach to compound synthesis. Furthermore, this reference will serve as a useful resource for graduate students to enhance their understanding and review of organic chemistry and synthesis.It includes examples of total synthesis that helps pursuing further studies. Additionally, the book provides an introduction to environmental and economic considerations in synthesis, which has become an important issue in recent years, especially for those working in fine chemicals and the pharmaceutical industry. The book also introduces flow chemistry, along with an overview of the processes and equipment used.

Antimicrobial Peptides: A Roadmap for Accelerating Discovery and Development covers the most important efforts of scientists and engineers worldwide to accelerate the process of discovery, production, and eventual market penetration of more potent antimicrobial peptides. These efforts have been fueled by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and data science, molecular and CFD simulations, easy-to-use process simulation packages, microfluidics, 3D-printing, among many others. Such technologies can now be implemented and scaled up quickly and at relatively low cost in low-budget production facilities, critical to moving to sustainable and marketable products worldwide.Discovering novel antimicrobial peptides rationally and cost-effectively has emerged as one of the significant challenges of modern biotechnology. Thus far, this process has been tedious and costly, resulting in molecules with activities far below those needed to address the current challenge of microbial resistance to antibiotics that takes the lives of thousands of people around the world every year. Finally, the book also highlights how multidisciplinary teams have assembled to address the challenges of manufacturing, biological testing, and clinical trials to finally reach complete translation.

Synthesis of Epoxides explores different techniques for making epoxides, both old and new, and delves into the growing field of heterocyclic chemistry. The book presents a variety of methods that will help readers figure out which one best suits their specific needs. Diazo compounds are important synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis, but because of their unpredictable, explosive nature and toxicity their unique reactivity has not been fully exploited and their use at large scale has been avoided. Readers, including students in chemistry, will learn about different methods and important information, allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable in particular cases.The synthetic usefulness of diazo compounds cannot be overlooked despite their danger. Because of their ylide and 1,3-dipole nature, the diazo compounds have a unique reactivity. The diazo compounds can be utilized for various different conversions including S-ylide-assisted epoxidation, cyclopropanation, or aziridination reactions. This book describes the new and classic methods for the synthesis of epoxides and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry.
