Chalcones and their Derivatives

Chalcones and their Derivatives by Mohmmad Younus Wani, Salman Ahmad Khan, Hao Shao, and Anish Khan is a focused, reader-friendly resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and graduate students exploring the versatile world of chalcones. Whether you’re based in India’s vibrant research centers, a biotech lab in Europe, or a university in North America or East Asia, this book delivers practical insights that connect laboratory practice to real-world drug-discovery challenges.

Start with a clear, engaging overview of the chalcone scaffold and its importance in medicinal chemistry. The authors guide you through modern synthesis strategies, green chemistry approaches, and stepwise optimization techniques, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing scientific rigor. Case studies and comparative analyses show how subtle structural changes influence biological activity—from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to promising anticancer and antimicrobial properties—highlighting structure–activity relationships (SAR) relevant to current pharmaceutical research.

For applied scientists, the book sets out reliable experimental approaches, analytical methods, and thoughtful discussions on pharmacological evaluation and selectivity. The writing balances technical depth with clarity, making it ideal for bench scientists seeking actionable methods and students wanting a coherent survey of contemporary literature.

If you’re involved in drug design, natural-product chemistry, or chemical biology and want a compact yet comprehensive reference, this title equips you with the conceptual tools and practical perspectives to accelerate research and innovation. Add Chalcones and their Derivatives to your collection and bring precise, up-to-date guidance to your lab, classroom, or R&D library.
