PRINCIPLES OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY VOLUME 1

About the Book :

1. The book focusses mainly on examples and illustrates the principles and mechanisms with the liberal use of tables and figures.
2. The emphasis in this book is given on the principles upon which chemotherapy is based.
3. Computerised statistical methods are now routinely used in drug design, hence a chapter based on QSAR has been included to elaborate the applications of mathematical and statistical SAR analysis in dug-design.
