It involves analysis of various medical disciplines and therapeutic areas, and will be geared to facilitate new drug development. As a result, this work aims to provide both understanding and guidance in characterizing potential drugs and their production and synthesis. It gives the professional a basic tool to facilitate research and development within this challenging process by bringing together, in one resource, a compendium of concepts, approaches, methodologies, and limitations that need to be considered in the development of therapeutic agents across a range of therapeutic fields. It includes chapters on therapeutics and drug development for specific disease areas and other hot topics like new drugs and neutraceuticals, the discovery and development of vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and market overviews. The approaches and methodologies presented in the book provide a practical problem-solving approach that is scientifically valid and will aid readers in the large task of characterizing potential drugs and in their production/synthesis.
