  • 5-Membered Heterocycle Synthesis Using Iodine

    • 1st Edition
    • January 24, 2023
    • Navjeet Kaur
    • English
    5-Membered Heterocycle Synthesis Using Iodine presents both old and new methods for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles using iodine, providing information for making specific compounds using particular reagents. Heterocyclic frameworks represent the main structural subunits of many biologically active compounds and natural products, and the ability of heterocycles to act both as reactive pharmacophores and biomimetics has greatly contributed to their unique value as traditional key elements of various drugs. Contemporary developments in process chemistry and discovery emphasize novel sustainable synthetic pathways as fast and ecologically acceptable alternatives to the traditional protocols. This book serves as a guide for students, pharmacologists, biochemists, organic and medicinal chemists, researchers, and academic professionals to obtain easy access to synthetic protocols for different five-membered heterocycles using iodine.

  • Metal Nanocluster Chemistry

    Ligand-Protected Metal Nanoclusters With Atomic Precision
    • 1st Edition
    • January 18, 2023
    • Manzhou Zhu
    • English
    Atomically precise metal nanoclusters occupy the gap between discrete atoms and plasmonic nanomaterials, and they offer intriguing physical-chemical properties that can be rationalized in terms of their quantum size effects and discrete electronic states. The atomically precise nature of their structures lends them well to structure-property relationship elucidation, making them particularly useful for informing the rational design of nanoclusters with enhanced performance. Metal Nanocluster Chemistry: Ligand-Protected Metal Nanoclusters With Atomic Precision provides a concise introduction to the study of these useful nanoclusters. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of, and prospects for, metal nanoclusters, the book goes on to highlight synthetic methods for controllable preparation. The subsequent chapters then highlight characterization, mechanism of size growth and structure evolution, and physical-chemical properties. Later chapters examine theoretical approaches for calculating and evaluating structures and properties. They also highlight the assembly of nanocluster building blocks and their practical applications. Drawing on the knowledge of its expert author, Metal Nanocluster Chemistry is a useful introductory guide to these exciting structures.

  • Analytical Nebulizers

    Fundamentals and Applications
    • 1st Edition

    • Antonio Canals + 2 more
    • English
    Analytical Nebulizers: Fundamentals and Applications presents the fundamentals of analytical nebulizers, including types, aerosol generation, characterization, and design information of various classes of nebulizers such as nanonebulizers, multinebulizers, electrosprays, and ultrasonic nebulizers. The continuous development of new analytical techniques and materials make these technological approaches very interesting for those working in the industrial sector. In addition, although the book mainly focuses on the application of analytical nebulizers in analytical sciences, specifically in sample preparation, it is also useful to those in other disciplines (e.g. organic chemistry, catalysis, sensors, nanotechnology, biomedicine and nanomedicine, and environmental chemistry) where these nebulizers have great potential.Non-conven... applications of nebulizers such as aerosol-assisted synthesis nanoparticles and ultrasonic nebulization extraction are also presented.

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is one of the fastest-growing imaging modalities of recent times. It combines the advantages of ultrasound and optical imaging techniques. These non-invasive and non-destructive techniques offer many benefits to users by enabling spectroscopy of opaque and inhomogeneous materials, (solid, liquid, powder, gel, gases) without any sample preparation, and more.

  • Anti-Aging Pharmacology

    • 1st Edition
    • December 7, 2022
    • Vitaly Koltover
    • English
    **Association of American Publishers (AAP) PROSE Award Finalist in Clinical Medicine, 2024**Anti-Aging Pharmacology provides an overview of current research aimed at the pharmacological modulation of aging, including a discussion of the growing number of novel drug classes with promising anti-aging potential. The aging process is the main risk factor for all chronic diseases affecting the elderly. With lifespans extending across the globe, these chronic diseases are placing a larger burden on individuals and health care systems. Therefore, slowing down the aging rate could be more effective in delaying aging-associated chronic disorders than combating them one by one, which is the conventional approach in a current disease-based pharmacological paradigm.This book contains the work of the world’s leading researchers in the field, including sections on the conceptual and methodological background of anti-aging pharmacology, the basic classes of anti-aging drugs, phytochemicals, outcomes of anti-aging developments and future directions. This book will be of interest to a wide audience, ranging from pharmacologists, medicinal chemists and academic researchers in gerontology, biomedical sciences and those in medical practice.
