Combinatorial Chemistry: A Practical Approach, Volume 9 (Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry)

As we enter the new millennium, combinatorial chemistry is providing significant impetus to new innovations in synthetic chemistry. Combinatorial chemistry has rapidly become the rising star among research methods, allowing scientists to efficiently test the feasibility of a multitude of new compounds.
The pursuit of new drugs is but one challenging field in which these combinatorial methods are particularly advantageous, helping researchers meet the modern-day demands of a highly competitive environment.
This book emphasises that modern combinatorial synthesis is possible not only in the solid phase, but also in solutions. Moreover, it discusses computer-assisted methods as well as the apparatus and instrumentation required for the combinatorial method. Successful and experienced researchers in the leading pharmaceutical companies and most renowned research institutes offer a solid insight and perspective into this diverse field.
A 'must' for every scientist in the area of pharmaceutical research

"...this book is recommended to newcomers in the field of combinatorial chemical synthesis because of its broad scope." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 123, No. 35)
