Biological/Medicinal Drug-like Properties in Drug Discovery  
Course Code: DGLK  
::
Course Information
This course is designed to increase your knowledge of drug-like properties, ADME and how to apply this information in medicinal chemistry for hit selection, lead optimization and development candidate selection and is designed for medicinal chemists and other discovery scientists who design, synthesize, and test new drug candidates, lead research teams, or measure and predict ADMET properties of compounds.

Registrants will need to purchase a copy of the book, Drug-Like Properties: Concepts, Structure Design and Methods: From ADME to Toxicology, in addition to their registration as part of this course. To purchase this book at a discount through ACS, please contact Andrea Adams. Quantities are limited.
