Despite the ever growing need for a solid grounding in drug metabolism in pharmaceutical research and development, no book has been dedicated to teaching the latest tools and techniques necessary for bench scientists to achieve ever more demanding goals in all aspects of drug metabolism, from creating new molecular entities to drug development to sleuthing for answers when problems arise. Drug Metabolism in Pharmaceuticals  will be just the sort of concise, basic drug metabolism book that is written at an accessible level for a broad range of bench scientists and students. This work will fill a gap in the literature by covering the concepts and applications of pharmaceutical research, development, and assessment from the point of view of drug metabolism. By providing both a solid conceptual understanding of the drug metabolism system, and a well illustrated, detailed demonstration and explanation of cutting edge tools and techniques, this book will serve as a valuable reference tool for bench scientists, medical students and students of general health sciences.
