ABSTRACT
β-Carbolines: A Privileged Scaffold for Modern Drug Discovery provides a summary of methods for the synthesis of various natural products engineered with the diverse β-carboline scaffold and their biological evaluation.
β-Carboline and its derivatives have generated considerable interest in recent years for their versatile properties in chemistry and pharmacology. This is due to their ability to act as agonists to benzodiazepine receptors, hydroxy serotonin receptors, and intercalate into DNA, to inhibit CDK, Topisomerase, and monoamine oxidase enzymes. Their pharmacological properties include anxiolytic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, antiviral, antiparasitic and antimicrobial attributes. This book provides a summary of methods for the synthesis of various natural products engineered with the diverse β-carboline scaffold and their biological evaluation.
Features:
- Focuses on the different application and therapies of the B-carbolines
- Provides a summary of methods for the synthesis of various natural products engineered with the diverse β-carbolines
- Discusses methods of biological evaluation of B-Carbolines
- Explores different chemical transformations occurring with synthesis using B Carbolines.
- Covers both heterocyclic synthesis and multicomponent synthesis related to β carboline.
