    About this ebook

    Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmacological Activity of Prostanoids contains the proceedings of a symposium on the Chemistry and Biochemistry of Prostanoids held at the University of Salford, England on July 10-14, 1978. Separating 29 papers of the symposium as chapters, this book begins with a description of prostanoids in health and disease and recent developments in the synthesis of antisecretory prostaglandins. Other topics discuss synthesis of some novel 11-deoxyprostaglandins; bicycles, tricycles and prostaglandin synthesis; chemical and biological studies on new prostanoids; and isolation and characterization of enzymes involved in prostaglandin biosynthesis. Structure activity relationships of prostaglandins and a biochemical background of caloric restriction therapy of obesity are also explained.
