Publisher's Synopsis
This is a part of the second volume in a work intended to collate and review current knowledge of the chemical mechanisms of biotrans-formations and drug toxicity. It covers the problems and pitfalls in the analysis of sulphur xenobiotics and describes in detail the chemistry and biochemistry of enzymes that mediate various metabolic reactions at sulphur, with emphasis on how these biotransformations affect the pharmacology and toxicology of such compounds.;The contributors emanate from a wide range of authoritative international sources: the entire six-volume work is extensively cross-referenced and forms a library of information on sulphur-containing drugs and compounds that has no rival. The study has been designed to benefit biochemists, chemists, pharmacologists and toxicologists.
