The book "Drug Selectivity - An Evolving Concept in Medicinal Chemistry"
provides a current overview and comprehensive compilation for medicinal
chemists that discusses the effects of aiming for multiple targets on
the entire drug development process.
The result is a broad survey of current and future strategies for drug
selectivity in medicinal chemistry with theoretical but also practical
aspects. Different strategies are presented and evaluated, such as
various design approaches, merged multiple ligands, discovery
technologies and a broad range of successful examples of unselective
drugs taken from all major disease areas. With its wide-ranging view of
an emerging new paradigm in drug development, this handbook is of prime
importance for every medicinal and pharmaceutical chemist.
