The Royal Society of Chemistry have just published The Handbook of Medicinal Chemistry: Principles and Practice (Rsc Smart Materials)

This book was created to support the hugely successful Medicinal Chemistry Summer School run by the RSC.

Each chapter includes expert advice to not only provide a rigorous understanding of the principles being discussed, but to provide useful hints and tips gained from within the pharmaceutical industry. This expertise, combined with project case studies, highlighting and discussing all areas of successful projects, make this an essential handbook for all those involved in pharmaceutical development.

A free app has been created in collaboration with the editors of the book. The Medicinal Chemistry Toolkit provides a suite of resources to support the day to day work of a medicinal chemist
