Provides a comprehensive understanding of the processes that take place following ingestion of a medicinal agent or xenobiotic, with an emphasis on the crucial role of metabolism (biotransformation). This book also explains how a sound knowledge of these phenomena is incorporated into the design of effective new drug candidates.;Machine derived contents note: CHAPTER 1.
