The three volumes that comprise Drug Discovery and Evaluation are recommendation texts that divide the discovery and evaluation of new drugs into three distinct steps that expedite and facilitate the increasingly difficult, time-consuming, and costly pharmacological process. The first volume describes classical methods and new technologies used to detect drug targets. The second volume details the preclinical methods guiding the pharmacokinetic studies and experiments used to choose the most suitable compound. And the third volume covers all relevant information regarding the first studies in humans. Thorough, up-to-date and easy-to-use, this overview on all aspects of Clinical Pharmacology is essential for pharmacologists, physicians, medical chemists and pharmacists in either university or industry research as well as government institutions and committees working on official guidelines from drug evaluations worldwide.
