Review Compendium of Chiral Auxiliary Applications Three volume set / Academic Press:The Compendium is a detailed compilation of chiral auxiliaries which are used in the field of organic chemistry to direct "asymmetric synthesis". A molecule is called chiral because it can have two "enantiomers" - like left and right-handed molecules. An enantiomer is either of two molecules of the same chemical composition that are mirror images of each other but not identical. A "chiral auxiliary" is an aid / auxiliary used to specifically produce either the left or right enantiomer of the chosen molecule, as desired. In this comprehesive reference source, industrial chemists can make informed selections of an auxiliary for a specific application. It is fully cross-referenced to enable the comparative selection of auxiliaries. The work includes over 13,000 auxiliary reaction applications with complete reaction details of the synthetic routes, reagents, and primary literature references. Key Features* This remarkable major reference work is the first such compilation and represents the only total source for the diverse applications of auxiliaries* Thoroughly cross-referenced to enable comparative selection of auxiliaries to be made dependent on target application* Includes more than 13,000 auxiliary reaction applications with complete reaction details for each auxiliary* Includes over 2,700 references, for reactions involving all recyclable chiral auxiliaries, published through mid-2000* The material is compiled in a manner that facilitates its use as a reference source for practitioners of asymmetric organic synthesis in making an informed selection of an auxiliary for a specific application.

Review The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, Second Edition (The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry) / Academic Press:Most medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry are organic synthetic chemists with little or no background in medicinal chemistry. These chemists must acquire a good knowledge of medicinal chemistry during their first years in the pharmaceutical/drug discovery industry. This book aims to be their practical handbook - a complete guide to the drug discovery process. The book reviews practical aspects of Medicinal Chemistry, emphasising the daily problems met by the medicinal chemist when dealing with lead discovery/identification methodologies, with structure-activity relationship studies aimed to scale up potency and target selectivity, and when optimising pharmacokinetic and pharmaceutical properties by means of ultimate chemical modifications. This is the second edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, the first edition being published in February 1996. The new edition is thoroughly revised, with around 30% new material, and refocussed to reflect the recent developments in genomics, proteomics, high throughput screening of compounds and drug solubilisation. An effort has been made to remove the overlap that exists in the previous edition and four new chapters have been introduced. * Written by experts in the field* The first edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, published in 1996, was nicknamed 'The Bible' by medicinal chemists. * The only available book dealing with the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry, from conception of the molecules through to the production of drugs* An essential practical handbook for the medicinal chemist, working in the pharmaceutical industry, with little or no background in medicinal chemistry-a complete guide to the drug discovery process.

Review Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry, 5 Volume Set / Wiley:In its short (30 year) history, computational chemistry has become one of the mainstays of modern industrial and academic chemistry. Computer methods are used to solve chemical problems that would be intractable or even impossible via experimental methods. Today, computer chemistry is acknowledged to be a major subdivision of chemistry, e. g. in drug design, molecular models can be simulated to predict which are the active compounds and how they will "fit" the receptors in the brain in order to make them effective. The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry (ECC) provides the most modern, complete and authoritative reference work on the subject. "The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry represents the most comprehensive effort yet to cover the field of computational chemistry in its full breadth. This effort has been successful in most points and the ECC is thus a must-have for all chemistry libraries". ANGEWANTE CHEMIE Includes 500 complex illustrations in full color Provides thorough cross referencing and Definition Entries (one paragraph dictionary articles) Reference list contains not only traditional material, but also FTP and HTTP sites and similar entries to electronic sources Contributions from more than 300 leading computational chemists The innovation continues.

Review Recent Advances in QSAR Studies: Methods and Applications (Challenges and Advances in Computational Chemistry and Physics) / Springer:The volume will include two major areas: methodology and applications. The first part focuses on methodology and new ideas. It is important to review all available methods that deal with 1-4D molecular descriptors: topological descriptors (indices), simplexes, quantum-mechanical descriptors. It is demonstrated how these descriptors work in different models (for physicochemical properties, toxicological endpoints, ADME etc. ). In the case of QM descriptors recent progress in the quantum-chemical calculations is presented as a background for the descriptors generation. Moreover, recent development of the mathematical/statistical method of modelling is also presented. Special attention is focused on new algorithms, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). At the end of the first part, the approaches for validation of QSAR models are discussed. This first part could be considered as a road map that gives the reader a general idea about recent trends and developments in each part of QSAR strategy (descriptors, methods of modelling, validation). [+]
The second part aims to highlight interdisciplinary aspects and new areas of the QSAR modelling as much as discuss in detail the most optimal solutions (descriptors, mathematical/statistical methods, validation) in the individual areas of interest (environmental risk assessment, drug design, etc. ). In this way, the book is of interest for both of the following groups - scientists developing new methodologies and researchers trying to solve specific problems by means of QSAR.
