The Search for Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Case Histories from Concept to Clinic .

Boston, MA Burkhauser, 1995. Hardcover First Edition; First Printing indicated. First Edition; First Printing indicated. Very Good++: shows only the most minute indications of use: Mild rubbing to the lamination; there is a very faint, rather small coffee-like tain at the upper front corner (harly seems like it would be enough to impart the faint waviness to the text pages at that corner, but perhaps it did); several tiny spots near the upper corner of the front panel. Binding shows a slight reverse lean, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 304pp. Hardcover: Pictorial Laminate Boards. This work provides a background on how some of the current anti-inflammatory drugs were discovered and some of the problems and highlights that took place in the research and development process. It aims to cover the true nature of the discovery/development process for anti-inflammatory drugs. Ultimate success or failure in the clinic is not the principle focus or issue here, but rather an understanding of the ways concepts are started and all of the thinking, nuances, prejudices and scientific or political processes that come into play in drug discovery. Together with the complementary volume composed by the same editors ("The Search for Antiviral Drugs"), this book is intended for a medical or university library, as well as for researchers and clinicians. It can also be used as a textbook in graduate courses.
