Synthetic Pyrethroid Insecticides: Structures and Properties

Focusing on the theoretical and practical aspects of pyrethroids, this comprehensive handbook serves chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists involved in insecticidal research. It features about 110 tables that compile diverse biological data, many published for the first time, and discusses quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and conformational aspects of bioactive pyrethroids. The work also addresses the molecular basis of their biological action, stereochemical considerations, and provides a historical overview of pyrethroid inventions and patenting.
