Medicinal Chemistry: An Introduction, Second Edition
provides a comprehensive, balanced introduction to this evolving
and multidisciplinary area of research. Building on the success of
the First Edition, this edition has been completely revised and
updated to include the latest developments in the field.
Written in an accessible style, Medicinal Chemistry: An
Introduction, Second Edition carefully explains fundamental
principles, assuming little in the way of prior knowledge. The book
focuses on the chemical principles used for drug discovery and
design covering physiology and biology where relevant. It opens
with a broad overview of the subject with subsequent chapters
examining topics in greater depth.
From the reviews of the First Edition:
‘It contains a wealth of information in a compact form’
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE, INTERNATIONAL EDITION
‘Medicinal Chemistry is certainly a text I would chose to
teach from for undergraduates. It fills a unique niche in the
market place.’ PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND EDUCATIONAL REVIEWS
