Domino Reactions in Drug Discovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780128193747)

Domino Reactions in Drug Discovery presents a concise selection of domino reactions employed in routes for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and the design of new drug candidates. These versatile reactions play an important and integral part in both the aesthetic appeal and functional aspects of strategic drug discovery, lending enhanced efficiency and synthetic versatility to pharmaceutical drug design. Due to their atom economy, these reactions are increasingly popular in the development of complex scaffolds and multifunctional derivatives aimed at the synthesis of new chemical entities and approved APIs across diverse therapeutic classes, including antidiabetics [DPP4 inhibitors], anticancer therapies and HIV integrase inhibitors.
