Abstract

Strategies to reduce medical uncertainty and build evidence have become critical to the advancement of medical knowledge and modern medical practice. As new techniques and strategies have arisen, so has the need for a current reference work. Drug Discovery and Design examines the latest research in the development of these new strategies. Some of the topics covered include angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, HIV protease inhibitors, PPAR agonists for diabetes, and glucan synthase antifungal agents.
"This volume will be of interest to medicinal chemists, particularly those involved in drug discovery programs. ...Perhaps among the most interesting lessons to be learned from this text is that we are asking a lot from the drug design and discovery process, and that we are very often able to deliver."
