Description: "The discovery of fluorouracil, fluorocorticoids, and fluoroquinolones has led to expanded interest in the usage of fluorine in chemistry. The first comprehensive reference dedicated to detailing the influence of fluorine on the structural properties of a molecule and on a molecule's biological behavior, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry of Fluorine uses examples of fluorinated drugs to provide a thorough overview of the role of fluorine in pharmaceutical science and development." "Complete with references for further study, this the premier resource on fluorine for pharmaceutical and medicinal chemists in academia industry, researchers in organic chemistry and biochemistry, and advanced students and educators in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry."--Jacket.
