Analogue-based Drug Discovery III

1st Edition

by János Fischer (Editor), C. Robin Ganellin (Editor), David P. Rotella (Editor)

Most drugs are analogue drugs. There are no general rules how a new drug can be discovered, nevertheless, there are some observations which help to find a new drug, and also an individual story of a drug discovery can initiate and help new discoveries. Volume III is a continuation of the successful book series with new examples of established and recently introduced drugs.

The major part of the book is written by key inventors either as a case study or a study of an analogue class. With its wide range across a variety of therapeutic fields and chemical classes, this is of interest to virtually every researcher in drug discovery and pharmaceutical chemistry, and — together with the previous volumes — constitutes the first systematic approach to drug analogue development.
