Put the chemistry back in medicinal chemistry Today, synthetic skill is valued and appreciated much less in medicinal chemistry than in chemical development, though it is equally important for both. Much of the blame lies with the mismeasurement of productivity. mark for My Articles similar articles

Opinion: In the Pipeline Natural products can be ridiculously complicated. The sheer difficulty of the enterprise is traditionally what made pharmaceutical companies hire people who had worked in total synthesis. But, is total synthesis research still worth the effort? mark for My Articles similar articles
