Steroid Dimers: Chemistry and Applications in Drug Design and Delivery provides an up-to-date overview on the chemistry and applications of steroid dimers of natural and synthetic origins. The book includes easy-to-follow synthetic protocols for various classes of important dimeric steroids, source details, valuable spectroscopic data and depiction of unique structural features of natural steroidal dimers, and the Structure-Activity-Relationships (SARs) of some pharmacologically active dimeric steroids. Topics covered include:
- introduction to steroid dimers
- synthesis and chemistry of noncyclic and cyclic steroid dimers
- naturally occurring steroid dimers – cephalostatins, ritterazines and crellastatins
- biological and pharmacological functions of steroid dimers and their application in drug design and discovery
- steroid dimers as “molecular umbrellas” for drug delivery
