Publisher's Synopsis
Mass Spectra and GC Data of Steroids Androgens and Estrogens H. L. J. Makin, D. J. H. Trafford, J. Nolan A SpecBook by Chemical Concepts This collection is the most comprehensive source of mass spectral data for steroids available today. It contains almost 2500 newly measured EI(+) mass spectra of androgens and estrogens and their derivatives (trimethylsilyl ethers, O–methyloximes and acetates). Each spectrum is accompanied by the structure, systematic and trivial names, retention index, molecular formula, molar mass, CAS number and sample source of the steroid. All data have been obtained on the same mass spectrometer under identical chromatographic and mass spectrometric conditions. Steroids are of considerable therapeutic importance, and the collection will thus be of particular interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Chemists and biochemists involved in drug development, drug screening and clinical toxicology, as well as endocrinologists, natural products chemists and mass spectroscopists will find the collection to be an invaluable source of data.
