Edited by Drs. Camille Wermuth, David Aldous, Pierre Raboisson and Didier Rognan, the fourth edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry offers a thorough treatment of basic medicinal chemistry principles, as well as new and expanded coverage of the latest technologies and approaches in drug discovery. With topics such as high content screening, scoring, docking, binding free energy calculations, polypharmacology, QSAR, and chemical collections and databases, this book is a go-to reference for academic and pharmaceutical researchers who need a complete understanding of medicinal chemistry and its application to drug discovery and development.

In order to meet content needs in medicinal chemistry, Elsevier identifies the gaps in coverage of the topic using proprietary tools. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, practitioners and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books are derived from this strategy and will educate the next generation of medicinal chemists and provide critical foundational content for information professionals.
