Elsevier's Dictionary of Chemoetymology
Noting a marked lack of comprehensiveness and/or contemporaneity among typical reference works on chemical etymology, as well as a somewhat spotty coverage of chemical terms and their etymology in comprehensive dictionaries and textbooks the author decided to write an up-to-date desk reference on chemical etymology which would satisfy the needs of casual readers as well as those of more demanding users of etymological lore. Characteristic user-friendly features of the present work include avoidance of cumbersome abbreviations, avoidance of entries in foreign alphabets, and a broad coverage of all chemical disciplines including mineralogy. Biological, medical, geological, physical and mathema...
Organic Chemistry in Medicine
This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more. It describes organic compounds that are of importance for medicine: heterocycles, alkaloids, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, and more. Organic chemistry plays a pivotal role in medicine and in developing, synthesizing, and understanding pharmaceutical compounds. It focuses on carbon-containing compounds, which form the backbone of organic molecules. Functional groups within organic molecules modulate the biochemical properties of organic compounds, like stability, solubility, and activity. Organic chemistry is used for designing drug formulations based on disease mechanisms. Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.
Chemistry of Named Organic Reactions and Reagents
In chemical reactions, the ene reaction (also known as the Alderene reaction, named after its discoverer Kurt Alder, for whom it was named in 1943) is a reaction between an alkene containing an allylic hydrogen (Len) and a molecule containing the molecule contains a multiple bond (the enophile), resulting in the formation of a multiple bond. The migration of an ENE double bond and an increase in the hydrogen shift of 1.5 creates a new hydrogen bond. It is a substituted alkene in which the double bond has been shifted to the allyl position as shown in the diagram that follows this procedure
Organic Chemistry
Human benefit from the organic chemistry of plants is incalculable in terms of health, food, comfort and security. Indeed, the future well-being of humanity rests in significant measure upon a responsible relationship with the plant kingdom in order to re-establish balance in the Earth’s natural environmental systems. In a highly readable volume, Organic Chemistry: Miracles from Plants presents many fascinating points of entry to the organic chemistry of a wide range of crucially-important, naturally-occurring, chemical substances which are derived from plants. Features: Presents in a readable and accessible manner many fascinating points of entry to the organic chemistry of a wide range o...
General and Inorganic Chemistry in Medicine
This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more. In General Chemistry, the laws of chemistry, the structure of simple and complex compounds, chemical bonds, solutions, chemical reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, protolytic and redox processes, and sorption are discussed. In Inorganic Chemistry, chemical elements, inorganic compounds, and their significance for medicine are presented. It is focused on developing metal-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The significance of coordination chemistry to modulate enzyme activity is discussed. The production of reactive oxygen species selectively damaging cancer cells is described, too. Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.
The Politics of Narcotic Drugs
The Politics of Narcotic Drugs brings together leading experts on the drugs trade to provide an accessible yet detailed analysis of the multiple challenges that the contemporary trade in narcotic drugs and its prohibition pose, from the local to the international community. Through the use of country and regional case studies that include Afghanistan, Mexico, Colombia and the Middle East, the drivers of the drugs trade and the security and development dilemmas created by the prohibition of narcotic substances are explored. Contributions that assess the international drug control regime, British anti-drug enforcement organizations, 'narcoterrorism' and options for drug policy reform engage readers in current debates and the narrative frameworks that shape discussion of the drugs issue. The book is an invaluable guide to the dynamic and far-reaching issue of narcotic drugs and the impact of their prohibition on our countries and communities. The chapters are followed by an A-Z glossary of key terms, issues and organizations, and a section of maps and statistics.
