The Organic Chemistry of Drug Synthesis

Addressed primarily at practitioners in the field of organic chemistry who require an overview of the synthetic routes which have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. The volume covers the chemistry of compounds granted a United States Adopted Name between 1983 and 1987.
Volume 4 of this series is addressed primarily at practitioners in the field who seek a quick overview of the synthetic routes which have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. This volume covers the chemistry of those compounds which have been granted a United States Adopted Name (USAN) in the five years between 1983 and 1987. Many examples of actual applications of chemistry are provided by this book, which presumes a good working knowledge of chemical synthesis and at least a passing acquaintance with biology and pharmacology.
