The Art of Drug Synthesis illustrates how chemistry, biology,
pharmacokinetics, and a host of other disciplines come together to
produce successful medicines. The authors have compiled a
collection of 21 representative categories of drugs, from which
they have selected as examples many of the best-selling drugs on
the market today. An introduction to each drug is provided, as well
as background to the biology, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and
drug metabolism, followed by a detailed account of the drug
synthesis.
