Vitamin D Handbook 
Structures, Synonyms, and Properties

A Comprehensive Reference On Vitamin D CHEMISTRY

This hands-on, comprehensive reference provides accessible,
organized information on the structures and applications of Vitamin
D and its related chemicals. The most extensive published list of
Vitamin D molecules, it provides a record for approximately 950
derivatives of Vitamins D2 and D3. Information provided of each
compound includes:

* Structure, chemical name, synonyms, and properties

* Information on bioactivities, structure-activity relationships
(SAR), synthesis, and toxicity data

* CAS registry number and/or NLM Pub Chem chemical identification
number

* References to published work on the compound

This unique, full perspective on the chemistry of Vitamin D
includes detailed indexes that facilitate the search for a specific
compound. With monographs of all the chemicals related to Vitamin D
in published literature, Vitamin D Handbook: Structures, Synonyms,
and Properties is an invaluable resource for anyone conducting
research on Vitamin D, including chemists, biochemists, research
directors, and clinical directors. It is also an excellent resource
for graduate students.

G. W. A. MILNE spent thirty-five years as a senior researcher at
the National Institutes of Health where he worked on spectroscopy
for structure determination of organic compounds and on molecular
modeling in the design of drugs for the treatment of cancer and
AIDS. He is a former editor of the ACS Journal of Chemical
Information and Computer Sciences. In addition, he is the editor of
seventeen Ashgate Handbooks, including the Ashgate Handbook of
Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals; Gardner’s Chemical Synonyms
and Trade Names, Eleventh Edition; Drugs: Synonyms and Properties,
Second Edition; and Gardner’s Commercially Important Chemicals (all
published by Wiley). In 1999, he was one of two recipients of the
Skolnik Award from the Chemical Information Division of the
American Chemical Society. MICHAEL DELANDER is a biotechnology
consultant and the founder and research librarian for MDs Research
Library, a literature and Internet sources research firm.
