Chemistry and Biology of Beta-Lactams
Unlock a deep understanding of one of the most vital classes of antibiotics with Chemistry and Biology of Beta-Lactams. This authoritative book is an essential reference for medicinal chemists, pharmaceutical researchers, microbiologists, pharmacists, and postgraduate students who want to master the science behind beta-lactam antibiotics — the backbone of modern antimicrobial therapy. Now available through Books Hub PK, this resource bridges fundamental chemistry with clinical applications and cutting-edge research.
Beta-lactams — including penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and monobactams — have played a transformative role in medicine, saving countless lives. This book explores their fascinating chemistry, mechanisms of action, biosynthesis, resistance pathways, and ongoing efforts to develop new generations of beta-lactam antibiotics to combat resistant bacterial strains.
Authored by renowned experts in antibiotic chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, Chemistry and Biology of Beta-Lactams offers detailed chapters on the chemical structures, synthetic modifications, enzymatic degradation by beta-lactamases, and the design of beta-lactamase inhibitors. It highlights the molecular interactions that make these antibiotics effective, and explains how modern medicinal chemistry and microbiology intersect to tackle the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
This book is an invaluable resource for graduate students writing theses on antibiotic development, pharmaceutical chemists designing new drug candidates, microbiologists studying resistance mechanisms, and industry professionals involved in antibiotic R&D pipelines.
