Contemporary Aspects of Boron: Chemistry and Biological Applications (Volume 22) (Studies in Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 22)

Contemporary Aspects of Boron: Chemistry and Biological Applications highlights the biological activity and applications of boron containing compounds. The authors’ specific approach surveys general features of the subject, while exploring new and novel strategies for preparing certain chemical and natural boron products that are of significant substance in medicinal chemistry. For example, cancer treatment is one of the most important issues related to such products. In addition to contributing to the development of new drugs by addressing biological applications in medicinal and industrial fields, the book provides a comprehensive review of the most relevant components that comprise the pharmaceutical, medicinal and environmental applications of boron containing compounds. * Timely and comprehensive * Provides new insights to active researchers in the field * Presents concepts and methods in simple scientific terms Content: Preface Pages vii-viii Hijazi Abu Ali, Valery M.
