    • English
    A title in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances presents both an overview and a guide to techniques for designer drug analysis. Proliferation of the synthesis and use of designer drugs is a serious public health problem with social, economic, and legal implications. Whether abuse is studied at the population level or the individual level, researchers need both background and highly detailed technical information on specific drugs and drug classes in order to combat the proliferation and highly damaging consequences of these substances. Author Roy Gerona provides a comprehensive discussion that emphasizes the potential threat to society, presents the ongoing challenges confronting the various laboratory approaches to detection and identification of new chemical entities, and informs the development of improved analytical solutions for use in legislation, law enforcement, and treatment.Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances offers an introduction to the field and a source of information on specific drugs, drug effects, and analytical tools to a wide audience for anyone studying or engaging in designer drug analysis. Analytical and medical chemists, pharmacologist, toxicologists, and students, researchers, and policy makers in the fields of drug abuse, medicine, public health, and forensics will greatly benefit from this essential text.

  • Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines

    • 1st Edition
    • January 13, 2024
    • Navjeet Kaur
    • English
    Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines describes both new and old methods for the synthesis of aziridines from imines and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry. Readers will have access to different methods and information allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable for particular cases. Several important advances in this area have been witnessed in recent years and discovering efficient novel methods for the synthesis of aziridines has been very active field of research. Its powerful synthetic utility has been described by an overpowering amount of documentation on the approaches for the formation of aziridine.The smallest possible saturated azaheterocycle, aziridine, is well-known to organic chemists for its tremendous potential in pharmaceutical chemistry and organic synthesis. The general biological importance of aziridines is proven by the fact that they found several uses as subunits in pharmacologically active compounds such as antitumor agents, enzyme inhibitors, and antibiotics. Although aziridines are highly reactive, this framework occurs in many synthetic compounds and the natural products of biological interest also contain aziridine skeleton in their structures.
