In the fifth volume of Successful Drug Discovery the inventors and primary developers of drugs
that made it to the market tell the story of the drug's discovery and development. Case studies
of drugs from different therapeutic fields reveal the all-too-often unpredictable path from the
first drug candidate molecule to the successfully marketed drug. In addition this new volume
addresses overarching topics for drug discovery such as drug discovery in academia and
discusses currently important classes of small molecule as well as biological drugs.
Comprehensive in scope the book?s nine chapters provide a representative cross-section of the
present-day drug development effort. The authoritative fifth volume is filled with relevant
data and chemical information as well as the insight and experience of the best contemporary
drug creators. This important volume: - Puts the focus on recently introduced drugs that have
not yet made it into standard textbooks or general references - Contains information and
insight that is new and often not even available from the primary literature - Reveals what it
takes to successfully develop a drug molecule that has made it all the way to the market - Is
