The Organic Chemistry of Drug Synthesis Volume 4 Volume 4

Volume 4 of this series is addressed primarily at practitioners in the field who seek a quick overview of the synthetic routes which have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. This volume covers the chemistry of those compounds which have been granted a United States Adopted Name (USAN) in the five years between 1983 and 1987. Many examples of actual applications of chemistry are provided by this book, which presumes a good working knowledge of chemical synthesis and at least a passing acquaintance with biology and pharmacology. Updated every five years, the series represents the optimal compromise between currency and a sufficient body of material for cohesive and comprehensive treatment in a monograph. Provides a quick yet thorough overview of the synthetic routines that have been used to access specific classes of therapeutic agents. Materials are organized by chemical class, and syntheses are taken back to available starting materials. Discusses disease state, rational for method of drug therapy, biological activities of each compound and preparation. Coverage also includes those generic pharmaceutical compounds not accorded clinical status. A glossary defines biological terms. Vol. 4. C1990. Daniel Lednicer, Lester A. Mitscher With Gunda I.
