Fluorine In Pharmaceutical And Medicinal Chemistry: From Biophysical Aspects To Clinical ApplicationsAuthor(s): Veronique Gouverneur, Klaus Muller\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Imperial College Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Imperial College Press\nISBN-13: 9781848166349, 978-1848166349\nSynopsis\nFluorine chemistry is an expanding area of research that is attracting international interest, due to the impact of fluorine in drug discovery and in clinical and molecular imaging ([url] PET, MRI). Many researchers and academics are entering this area of research, while scientists in industrial and clinical environments are also indirectly exposed to fluorine chemistry through the use of fluorinated compounds for [url] book provides an overview of the impact that fluorine has made in the life sciences. In the first section, the emphasis is on how fluorine substitution of amino acids, peptides, nucleobases and carbohydrates can provide invaluable information at a molecular level. The follo.
