A comprehensive look at current drug discovery and development
methods--and the roadmap for the future

Providing both understanding and guidance in characterizing
potential drugs and their production and synthesis, Development
of Therapeutic Agents Handbook gives professionals a basic tool
to facilitate research and development within this challenging
process. This comprehensive text brings together, in one resource,
a compendium of concepts, approaches, methodologies, and
limitations that need to be considered in the formulation of
therapeutic agents across a range of therapeutic fields. Both a
reference and a call to action for the pharmaceutical industry,
Development of Therapeutic Agents Handbook examines recent
innovations taking shape in the various medical disciplines
involved in drug discovery, and shows why these advances need to be
embraced universally among researchers to improve their solution
strategies. Additional subject matter includes:

* Extensive coverage and in-depth look into novel treatments and
therapeutics

* Discussion of hot topics like new drugs and nutraceuticals, the
discovery and development of vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and
market overviews

* Coverage of therapeutic drug development for specific disease
areas, such as cardiology, oncology, breast cancer, and kidney
diseases

As research in biology, chemistry, medicine, and technology
rapidly progresses, it is becoming increasingly important for
medical researchers to maintain an up-to-date knowledge base of
emerging trends directing promising new therapies. Development
of Therapeutic Agents Handbook serves this purpose, acting as
both a one-stop reference rich in valid science, and a tool to
carve out new pathways in the pursuit of bringing safer and more
effective drugs to the marketplace.
