This reference discusses in detail the broad realm of preclinical drug development. Topics range from assessment of pharmacology and toxicology to the regulatory
expectations that support clinical trials. Providing chapters on pharmacokinetics,
modeling and simulation, formulation and routes of administration, toxicity evaluations, the assessment of drug absorption and metabolism, and interspecies scaling, this guide is a fundamental resource for medicinal chemists, biologists, and
other specialists in the drug development sciences.
