"...a very enjoyable trip through pharmaceutical history." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, April 5, 2007)
Discover the origins of some of the most popular drug therapies on the market today, including penicillin, Minoxidil, Viagra(R), and "the pill." This guide to drug synthesis and discovery focuses on case histories. Organized by drug category, the guide introduces readers to the rich interplay of research and serendipity that is responsible for many commonly prescribed drugs today. Moreover, the author demonstrates how the discovery and development of a new drug or drug category creates a domino effect, leading to the development of newer therapeutics as pharmaceutical companies compete to satisfy market demands.
Readers gain new insight from both a chemical and medical perspective into:
The text ends with an overview of the many steps required before a drug may be approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration.
Lavishly illustrated with chemical structures, and supplemented by an appendix for those readers who need assistance in interpreting the structures, the text is highly suited for students in medicinal chemistry, as well as for researchers in pharmaceuticals and medical practitioners in search of new insights into drug synthesis and discovery.
