Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Michael R. Borenstein, PhD (Temple University School of Pharmacy)
Description: This update of a comprehensive, clinically focused textbook of medicinal chemistry contains many new agents while retaining the same overall organization of the 2008 edition. It is well suited for a pharmacy curriculum, offering students a clinical significance section and clinical vignettes in most chapters.
Purpose: The main purpose is to present modern notions of drug discovery, which include the concept of optimizing lead compounds by using rational techniques. This is very important in light of the monumental changes occurring in the pharmaceutical industry and the increased reliance on academia as a source of new compounds for the amelioration of disease. The book meets this challenge.
Audience: The authors, experts in the field of medicinal chemistry and pharmacy education, wrote this book with pharmacy students in mind.
Features: Following an introduction to drug discovery and its relation to absorption, metabolism, and physiochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of drugs, each of the book's subsequent three parts addresses particular drug classes. The division of subjects is rational and informative. Of particular note is the last section on disease state management with particularly unique coverage of women's and men's health. It is here that students can see the clinical application of a diverse group, such as gonadal steroids. The clinical vignettes and clinical significance explanations throughout the book are unique and important. The book's main shortcoming (not for me, however), as with many detailed tomes, is its sheer size.
Assessment: This is still the gold standard against which all other medicinal chemistry books must be judged. It is content rich, yet attempts to relate the discipline to modern clinical practice. It is comprehensive and accessible, and an excellent resource for students as well as professionals seeking to update their knowledge. The addition of the clinical significance sections alone justifies replacing the previous edition.
