Stilbenes: Applications in Chemistry, Life Sciences and Materials Science

摘要

Stilbenes Applications in Chemistry, Life Sciences and Materials Science is a compendium that encompasses a very important group of polyphenol xenobiotics that has often been overshadowed by other polyphenols such asflavonoids and tannins and has thus been overlooked or only addressed in a cursory manner in previous books. The overall importance of stilbenes as a class of compounds is demonstrated repeatedly in each succinct chapter. The reader is led through this folio along an encompassing journeythat covers the many branches of stilbene investigations from preparation and analysis and chemical reactions involved with stilbene synthesis, through a well-versed sojourn in photoisomer-ization and photophysics, segueing into bioactive stilbenes and their pre-clinical and clinical effects, delivering us to a final destination discussing the applications of stilbenes including their utility as molecular probes.
