Corey, Barbara Czakó, and László Kürti provides informational value and serve to organize progress in its field, which is drug discovery and molecular medicine. The book succeeds in collecting a wide range of medical phenomenology extending from anti-aids strategies and treatments to reproductive medicine. Part I of the book begins with an attempt to relay the principles of organic chemistry, and particularly of structural organic chemistry. Issue such as nomenclature, a rough description of hybridizations, bonding and a review of functional group are provided. The infectious diseases section is nicely subdivided among indications that call for antibiotics, antiviral agents, and anti-fungal agents. The book has high information retrieval value, as readers can search by common name, technical name, or trade name, or any drug name. |
