Medicinal Chemistry: A Look at How Drugs Are Discovered is written for those who are interested in learning how drugs are discovered. Compared to other books on the market, this text takes a different approach by presenting the subject on chemical reaction mechanism terms, which ideally makes the subject matter more interesting and easier to comprehend. The authors describe the drug discovery process, from advancing an initial lead to the approval process, and include drug discovery sources.

Additional features:

  • Explains medicinal chemistry on chemical mechanism terms, allowing for a more interesting and easier to comprehend text

  • Includes valuable insights toward the various pathways taken at pharmaceutical industries in drug discoveries

  • Improved by including questions raised and suggestions made from students in the authors' medicinal chemistry classes

　

This book will benefit both upper level undergraduates and graduates studying in the fields of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, as well as scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry.

After finishing his studies at the Imperial College Prof. Ganguly returned back to India to work for Glaxo Laboratories and later with the Ciba Research Center in Bombay. He immigrated to the USA in 1967 and after a brief stay at the Research Institute of Medicine and Chemistry, Cambridge, Massachusetts he joined Schering Plough Research Institute, Kenilworth, New Jersey in 1968 as a Senior Scientist and where he advanced to the position of Senior Vice President of Chemical Research. He is associated with the discovery of Zetia, Posaconazole, Lonafarnib and Boceprevir. He is a coauthor of 222 papers and a coinventor of 88 patents. He has received several awards including the E.B. Hershberg award for important discoveries in Medicinal Chemistry from the American Chemical Society. After retiring from Schering-Plough, he joined Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ as a Distinguished Research Professor of Chemistry and presently he continues to consult in the drug discovery area.
