Now in its third edition, this classic reference is the one-stop-shop for information on the foundations of medicinal chemistry for pharmaceutical researchers who are involved in drug development & discovery but who do not have a background in medicinal chemistry. Wermuth aids pharmaceutical researchers and chemists in making faster, more accurate identifications of the active substances that could potentially treat the disorder they are researching. New chapters on Drug Absorption & Transport give pharmaceutical scientists information on how potential drugs can move through the drug discovery/development phases more quickly. This third edition still stands as the only source for practical aspects of medicinal chemistry by focusing on the daily problems met by the medicinal chemist in drug discovery.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
* Focus on chemoinformatics and drug discovery
* Enhanced pedagogical features
* New chapters including:
- Drug absorption and transport
- Multi-target drugs
* Updates on hot new areas:
NEW! Drug discovery and the latest techniques
NEW! How potential drugs can move through the drug discovery/ development phases more quickly
NEW! Chemoinformatics

Review
"The third edition of this book, useful to seasoned medicinal chemists as well as to chemists entering the academic or industrial laboratories, provides a hands-on overview of the drug discovery process. This edition differs from the previous two editions by having been updated to reflect developments in the past 5 years, and it includes 11 new chapters. I found this book to be unique, well organized, and overall a useful addition to the medicinal chemistry literature. Having favorably reviewed the first edition, I still highly recommend this third edition to all chemists who are involved in the drug discovery process." - John L. Neumeyer, Harvard Medical School, in JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY from the American Chemical Society
