The 54 articles which are divided into 12
sections in this new reference work represent the majority of the invited,
plenary and main lectures which were included in the scientific program
of the 11th International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry. These combined
articles do much to promote medicinal chemistry to the level of the
'Science of Drugs' and show chemistry as a most powerful ally of medicine.
The traditional therapeutic areas are fully covered. However, in this
volume, sections have also been devoted to less frequently reviewed
areas.
