This topical reference and handbook addresses the chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and the patentability of prodrugs, perfectly mirroring the integrated approach prevalent in today's drug design. It summarizes current experiences and strategies for the rational design of prodrugs, beginning at the early stages of the development process, as well as discussing organ- and site-selective prodrugs.
Every company employing medicinal chemists will be interested in this practice-oriented overview of a key strategy in modern drug discovery and development.
"The book captures all the important aspects of prodrugs. It is well organized in that each chapter presents a specific topic with very little duplication of contents between chapters . . . Given the fact that prodrugs are now increasingly integrated into early drug discovery, this type of book would be a valuable addition to the library of any drug discovery institution." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 8 August 2011)
