Full Text
The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action is essentially a textbook for medicinal chemistry. The material is presented such that a background in pharmacology and/or biochemistry is not required. The book is comprehensive in scope including key topics on discovery, interaction with receptors, activation and inhibition of enzymes, metabolism, and delivery systems. A wide array of schemes, figures, and color illustrations is easily interpreted by the reader and facilitates assimilation of material. Each chapter contains well chosen problems (solutions are included at the end of the text) and a handy reference guide for the interested reader.

This book should be on the shelf of every late-stage graduate student in synthetic organic chemistry who is considering a career in chemical or pharmaceutical industry.
