Synthesis and Characterization of Glycosides

This book contains the best known approaches for preparing the main
types of glycosides in a short and comprehensive study. It also
includes synthetic pathways of challenging glycosides known as
antiviral or antineoplasic drugs, or synthetic substrates used for
enzymatic detection including those used as substrates for detection
of gene markers in plant biotechnology. Special attention is made on
the structural characterization, providing the basic tools for the
structural assignment through NMR, X-Ray and mass spectra techniques.

Some of the chapters cover strategies for preparation of antiviral
and antineoplasic drugs included in a drug design course.
