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 PubChem 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.
