Reviews
"This is a most topical and useful short primer on estab1ished drugs and their synthesis." (American Journal of Therapeutics, June 2009)
"The book is very felicitous and closes a gap in the literature by covering the subject of drug development in this particular way." (Angewandte Chemie, June 23, 2008)
"This book is a very entertaining read." (ChemMedChem, 2008, 3)
"The editors and contriubting authros have certainly provided a most useful book for the medicinal and organic chemistry community." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, March 2008)
"Where I see the book being very useful is as a starting point for student seminars or discussion groups... Also, it is highly illuminating just to dip into for a browse and to marvel at some of the excellent chemistry that goes on in the pharmaceutical industry." (Chemistry World, January 2008)
