Progress in Drug Research (PDR). Fortschritte der Arzneimittelforschung. Progrès des recherches pharmaceutiques

This is Volume 42 in a series featuring reviews on a wide spectum of topical areas in current pharmaceutical and pharmacological research. Founded in 1959, the series has moved from its initial focus on medicinal chemistry to a much wider scope. Today, it aims to encompass all fields concerned with the development of new therapeutic drugs and the elucidation of their mechanisms of action, reflecting the increasingly complex nature of modern drug research. Invited authors present their biological, chemical, biochemical, physiological, immunological, pharmaceutical, toxicological, pharmacological and clinical expertise in written reviews, providing the newcomer and specialist alike with an up-to-date list of prime references. Each volume of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains fully cross-referencing indexes which link the books together.
