Combining fundamentals with practical step-by-step examples, \u003ci\u003eRetrometabolic Drug Design and Targeting\u003c\/i\u003e gives readers the tools they need to take full advantage of retrometabolic approaches in order to develop safe and effective targeted drug therapies. The authors, both pioneers in the fields of soft drugs and retrometabolic drug design, offer valuable ideas, approaches, and solutions to a broad range of challenges in drug design, optimization, stability, side effects, and toxicity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRetrometabolic Drug Design and Targeting\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an introductory chapter that explores new drugs and medical progress as well as the challenges of today's drug discovery.

These examples set forth the relevant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the new therapeutic agents, comparing these properties to those of other compounds used for the same therapeutic purpose. In addition, the authors review dedicated computer programs that are available to support and streamline retrometabolic drug design efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRetrometabolic Drug Design and Targeting\u003c\/i\u003e is recommended for all drug researchers interested in employing this newly tested and proven approach to developing safe and effective drugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNICHOLAS BODOR\u003c\/b\u003e is Graduate Research Professor Emeritus (active) at the University of Florida.
