New Strategies Targeting Cancer Metabolism: Anticancer Drugs, Synthetic Analogues and Antitumor Agents presents up-to-date synthetic strategies for three categories of antimetabolites: antifolates, purines and pyrimidines, the main classes of antimetabolites which are integrated into various pharmaceutical agents. Many of these antimetabolites are considered potent chemotherapeutic agents which have great potential impact on medical research. These main classes of antimetabolites are used in the treatment of critical diseases including cancer, malignancies, autoimmune diseases, and many other non-malignant diseases. Antineoplastic drugs such as alkylating agents which have significant effects are described. Novel synthetic strategies for many anticancer alkylating agents including nitrogen mustards, chlorambucil, melphalan, ifosamide, oxaliplatin and temozolomide are explored. Natural products have offered some of the most significant drugs for treating cancer, as many drugs currently in clinical use are derived from natural products as camptothecins, vinca alkaloids, and derivatives of podophyllotoxin. They provide a contribution that is essential for modern drug discovery and development. In this book, insights into a broad array of novel compounds are reviewed, well-recognized synthetic approaches are emphasized for further anticancer drug development and discovery, and the biological evaluation of novel synthesized compounds are included. This comprehensive reference is a valuable resource for medical chemists working in drug discovery and development, as well as pharmacologists and biochemists working in related fields.

Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 73 covers the synthesis, testing and recording of medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over millennia through genetic effects. With rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and determine the structures and biological activity of natural products. Hence, these new discoveries have created new avenues and applications for their use.

Isolated Pyranones: Multifaceted Building Blocks for Molecular Diversity covers the latest findings on synthesis and chemical reactivity of highly functionalized pyran-2-ones and pyran-4-ones, their reduced analogs and compounds derived from them through chemical reactions, and their applications in drug discovery and material sciences. It covers the mechanisms of the reaction and step by step formation of final products. Numerous pyranones from natural and synthetic origins, as well as their derived products, have shown diverse pharmacological activities and some are in clinical use. The applications of these compounds are not limited to drug development and imaging agents, and they are also used in material science as organic semiconductors, liquid crystals, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic catalysts, solid state lasers, photovoltaic and photoconductive devices. The book is ideal for organic, bioorganic, physical, material and natural product chemists working to generate diverse molecular entities through ring transformation reactions of pyranones, and those working in material science to generate new chemical entities.
