Nitrogenous heterocycles : modulation of chemical properties, and applications to synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

This thesis examines ways in which the chemical reactivity of benzimidazole-, pyrrole- or pyrrolizinone-based heterocycles can be modulated. The latent reactivity of these systems has been used to develop enzyme inhibitors, antitumour compounds and a novel amino acid derivatisation technique. Chapt...
