Medicinal Chemistry: Today and Tomorrow

M. Yamazaki

Blackwell Science,1996 [ISBN
0632042729]

Medicinal Chemistry: Today and Tomorrow presents the edited proceedings of the AFMC International Medicinal Chemistry Symposium. Medicinal chemistry is an interdisciplinary science covering a broad range of subjects but with chemistry as its core. The goal of medicinal chemistry is to produce effective new pharmaceuticals. The subject has seen remarkable advances in recent years, and Medicinal Chemistry: Today and Tomorrow provides a synthetic overview of the state of the art. This volume should make an important contribution to medicinal chemistry in its quest to produce innovative drugs that make the best use of recent developments in pharmaceutical research.
