The Organic Chemistry of Drug Synthesis

Updated every five years, this series provides an overview of the synthetic routines that have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. This text covers disease states, the rationale for drug therapy methods, biological activities of each compound and preparation.
Updated every five years, this series provides a quick yet thorough overview of the synthetic routines that have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. Materials are organized by chemical class, and syntheses are taken back to available starting materials. Disease state, rationale for method of drug therapy, biological activities of each compound and preparation are discussed, with coverage also including those generic pharmaceutical compounds not accorded clinical status. A glossary defines the biological terms.
