Medicinal Chemistry: Principles And Practice

"Medicinal Chemistry: Principles and Practices, 2/e" introduces the principles and practices of modern medicinal chemistry, and covers all aspects of drug discovery from the initial lead to final development. It teaches how to convert a lead compound into a potential drug and provides recent case histories as examples of successes. References to specialist monographs and reviews supplement this breadth of coverage, where the reader can find more detail on specific topics of interest if required. For this new edition, the material has been extensively revised to reflect the advances in the methods used in drug discovery over recent years. From reviews of the previous edition: "Overall an excellent book for those making a move into pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry research and for those who wish to broaden their knowledge of all disciplines involved in this area." ?TALANTA
