    “An excellent resource for cultivating sound research acumen in the area of medicinal chemistry. Unlike most books in the field, this goes beyond purely theoretical knowledge and greatly focuses on experimental procedures and practical approaches to develop a nuance understanding in the field of drug discovery. I thoroughly enjoyed the clear and interesting presentation of the material. Great efforts have been invested to ensure that it is easily accessible to both students and teachers. The book shows promising potential in exploring the field of medicinal chemistry and will prove to be an important aid to the researchers.”

    —Neelam Singla, PhD, Director, Accura Research Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad, India

    "A valuable book that will deliver newer aspects and applications in the field of medicinal chemistry. . . . A very useful reference book that encompasses various principles and applications associated with medicinal chemistry. [It] integrates insights regarding drug discovery, pharmacological aspects of natural products, druggable targets of chemical mediators, and several classes of medicinal agents. . . . It is a good skillful blend of medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, chemical synthesis, pharmacology, formulation, and miscellaneous subjects."
