People working in development of drugs, pesticides, washing detergents, etc., are obliged by law to conduct analyses of the "e;metabolic pathways"e; or "e;maps"e; for the chemical compounds that they are using or proposing. Everyone in these industries or carrying out research toward such products is therefore interested in having a reference on these compounds. - Covers literature relating to degradation and metabolic profiles of molecules- Draws together the literature on degradation and metabolism patterns with that on diversified conditions of the environmental systems- Indicates 3D chemical structures, predicted physico-chemical parameters, logP and the SMILES chemical notations of the parent compounds to assist scientists design the lead compounds for new discovery using computer-aided technology
