    Book SynopsisThe past decade has seen a significant increase of research aimed at discovering new drugs for treating cancer, and the increasing number of new antineoplastic drugs approved by regulatory agencies reflects this. Until now, details on the synthesis of these newer agents have been scattered in various journals and in US and European patents. This timely volume deals with the organic chemistry involved in the synthesis of the agents found within antineoplastic drugs, including descriptions of the synthetic schemes for the preparation of over 200 compounds that have been granted non-proprietary names. Compounds are collected in chapters based on the mechanism of action rather than on their chemical structures. Each individual chapter is preceded by a brief description of that mechanism and includes detailed flow charts of the preparation of those compounds accompanied by discussions of the organic chemistry involved in each step. The first half of this volume is dedicated to the synthesesTable of ContentsPreface ix Introduction xi 1 Alkylating Agents 1 1.1 bis-Chloroethyl Amines 1 1.2 Several Other Chloroethyl Agents 5 1.3 Platinum-Based Antineoplastic Agents 6 1.4 Miscellaneous Alkylating Agents 8 2 Antimetabolites 13 2.1 Introduction 13 2.2 Folate Antagonists 14 2.3 Pyrimidines and Purines 21 3 Hormone Blocking Anticancer Drugs 31 3.1 Introduction 31 3.2 Estrogen Antagonists 32 3.3 Androgen Antagonists 44 4 Topoisomerase Inhibitors 55 4.1 Introduction 55 4.2 Anthracyclines 56 4.3 Anthraquinones and Anthrapyrazoles 59 4.4 Camptothecins 65 4.5 Miscellaneous Topoisomerase Inhibitors 74 5 Mitotic Inhibitors 81 5.1 Introduction 81 5.2 Taxanes 82 5.3 Wholly Synthetic Compounds 86 6 Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitors 97 6.1 Introduction 97 6.2 Hydroxamates 98 7 Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors 109 7.1 Introduction 109 7.2 Hydroxamates 110 7.3 Phenylenediamines 113 8 Enzyme Inhibitor, Part I, Tyrosine Kinases 117 8.1 Introduction 117 8.2 Epidermal Growth Factor Inhibitors 118 8.3 VEGF 124 8.4 SRC Nonreceptor Tyrosine Kinase 134 8.5 PDGF 138 8.6 EGF 141 8.7 Other TKI 143 8.8 Janus Kinase Inhibitors 154 9 Enzyme Inhibitors: Part II Additional Targets 161 9.1 Serine–Threonine Kinase Inhibitors 161 9.2 Additional Enzyme Inhibitors 166 10 Miscellaneous Antineoplastic Agents 187 10.1 Acyclic 187 10.2 Monocyclic 188 10.3 Two Linked Rings 190 10.4 Rings on a Chain 191 10.5 Fused Rings 195 Appendix A 203 Combinatorial Chemistry 203 Index of Heterocyclic Sytheses 205 Subject Index 207

    Book SynopsisNearly all solids are compised of grains. However most studies treat materials as a continious solid. The book applies analysis used on loose granular materials to dense grainular materials. This title’s main focus is devoted to static or dynamic loadings applied to dense materials, although rapid flows and widely dispersed media are also mentioned briefly. Three essential areas are covered: Local variable analysis: Contact forces, displacements and rotations, orientation of contacting particles and fabric tensors are all examples of local variables. Their statistical distributions, such as spatial distribution and possible localization, are analyzed, taking into account experimental results or numerical simulations. Change of scales procedures: Also known as “homogenization techniques”, these procedures make it possible to construct continuum laws to be used in a continuum mechanics approach or performing smaller scale analyses. Numerical modeling: Several methods designed to calculate approximate solutions of dynamical equations together with unilateral contact and frictional laws are presented, including molecular dynamics, the distinct element method and non-smooth contact dynamics. Numerical examples are given and the quality of numerical approximations is discussed.Trade Review"The book will be useful for students and specialists working in this scientific area."

    Book SynopsisThis book brings together in a single volume various methods and skills for particle-scale or discrete-element numerical simulation of granular media. It covers a broad range of topics from basic concepts and methods towards more advanced aspects and technical details applicable to the current research on granular materials. Discrete-element simulations of granular materials are based on four basic models (molecular dynamics, contact dynamics, quasi-static and event driven) dealing with frictional contact interactions and integration schemes for the equations of dynamics. These models are presented in the first chapters of the book, followed by various methods for sample preparation and monitoring of boundary conditions, as well as dimensionless control parameters. Granular materials encountered in real life involve a variety of compositions (particle shapes and size distributions) and interactions (cohesive, hydrodynamic, thermal) that have been extensively covered by several chapters. The book ends with two applications in the field of geo-materials.

    Book SynopsisProcess Engineering, the science and art of transforming raw materials and energy into a vast array of commercial materials, was conceived at the end of the 19th Century. Its history in the role of the Process Industries has been quite honorable, and techniques and products have contributed to improve health, welfare and quality of life. Today, industrial enterprises, which are still a major source of wealth, have to deal with new challenges in a global world. They need to reconsider their strategy taking into account environmental constraints, social requirements, profit, competition, and resource depletion. “Systems thinking” is a prerequisite from process development at the lab level to good project management. New manufacturing concepts have to be considered, taking into account LCA, supply chain management, recycling, plant flexibility, continuous development, process intensification and innovation. This book combines experience from academia and industry in the field of industrialization, i.e. in all processes involved in the conversion of research into successful operations. Enterprises are facing major challenges in a world of fierce competition and globalization. Process engineering techniques provide Process Industries with the necessary tools to cope with these issues. The chapters of this book give a new approach to the management of technology, projects and manufacturing. Contents Part 1: The Company as of Today 1.

    Book SynopsisThe main purpose of this book is to put forward the fundamental role of grain boundaries in the plasticity of crystalline materials. To understand this role requires a multi-scale approach to plasticity: starting from the atomic description of a grain boundary and its defects, moving on to the elemental interaction processes between dislocations and grain boundaries, and finally showing how the microscopic phenomena influence the macroscopic behaviors and constitutive laws. It involves bringing together physical, chemical and mechanical studies. The investigated properties are: deformation at low and high temperature, creep, fatigue and rupture.Table of ContentsPreface xi Chapter 1.

  • Oxydative Ageing of Polymers

    Book SynopsisThis book aims to rehabilitate kinetic modeling in the domain of polymer ageing, where it has been almost abandoned by the research community. Kinetic modeling is a key step for lifetime prediction, a crucial problem in many industrial domains in which needs cannot be satisfied by the common empirical methods.The book proposes a renewed approach of lifetime prediction in polymer oxidative ageing. This approach is based on kinetic models built from relatively simple mechanistic schemes but integrating physical processes (oxygen diffusion and stabilizer transport), and use property (for instance mechanical failure) changes. An important chapter is dedicated to radiation-induced oxidation and its most important applications: radiochemical ageing at low dose rates and photo-chemical ageing under solar radiation. There is also a chapter devoted to the problem of ageing under coupled oxidation and mechanical loading.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements xi General Introduction xiii Chapter 1.
