Aims and Scope
The series Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry presents critical reviews on
“Heterocyclic Compounds” within topic related volumes dealing with all aspects
suchassynthesis,reactionmechanisms,structurecomplexity,properties,reactivity,
stability, fundamental and theoretical studies, biology, biomedical studies, pharma-
cologicalaspects,applicationsinmaterialsciencesetc.Metabolismisalsoincluded
which provides information useful in designing pharmacologically active agents.
Pathways involving destruction of heterocyclic ring are also dealt with so that
synthesisofspecificallyfunctionalizednon-heterocyclicmoleculescanbedesigned.

Preface
The significance of the stereocontrolled synthesis of chiral and achiral b-lactams
with their mechanism of formation has gained attention in connection with the
structure–activity relationship study and the development of b-lactam antibiotics,
b-lactam anticancer agents, cholesterol-lowering drugs, nitrogen-containing hete-
rocycles and inhibitors of b-lactamases. However, b-lactam antibiotics have still
occupiedamajorroleinthetreatmentagainstpathogenicbacteriaandthusimprove
inqualityofhumanlife.But,theextensiveuseofcommonb-lactamantibiotics(e.g.,
penicillinsandcephalosporins)inmedicinehascreatedsevereobstaclesbecauseof
anincreasingnumberofresistantstrainsofbacteriathroughmutationandb-lacta-
masegenetransfer.Duetotheincreasedbacterialaswellastumorcellresistance,
there has been enormous effort devoted to prepare new structural types of com-
pounds having the 2-azetidinone ring as a common feature. The diversity of this
bookbySpringer“HeterocyclicScaffoldsI:b-Lactams”in“TopicsinHeterocyclic
Chemistry”isconfirmedinthewiderangeofsignificanttopicswrittenbyexpertsin
thisfield.
Each one of the seven chapters presented in this book has focused on the very
recent aspects in the b-lactam research. Alcaide and Almendros as well as Bari
and Bhalla have described very powerfulstrategies for the preparation of unusual
spirocyclic b-lactams. Troisi et al. and Palomo and Oiarbide have described the
synthesis and application of b-lactams for the preparation of nitrogen-containing
molecules.Basuetal.describethepreparationofb-lactamsusingsolid-supported
reagents.Cossio’sgrouphasstudiedcomputationalapproachtoidentifythemecha-
nistic routes on the synthesis of a variety of b-lactams. Development of novel
anticancerb-lactamsalongwiththeir mechanismsofaction hasbeen provided by
ourgroup.
I take this opportunity to sincerely thank and congratulate the authors for their
verysignificantandusefulcontribution.Thisbookprovidesadeeperunderstanding
of the art of b-lactam research to the chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, and
cliniciansatindustrialand/oracademicresearchinstitutionsthroughouttheworld.
