New Drugs 2001:
Including All Drugs
Approved in 2000 and 2001

edited by G.W.A. Milne

New Drugs 2001 contains descriptions of the more than 100 new drugs from 30 therapeutic categories that have been approved (or approved for major new uses) in the last several years.

A brief introduction to each class of drugs provides highlights of recent developments in drug development and marketing for the corresponding disease category.

The chemical, physical and pharmacological properties of each agent are recorded along with the chemical structure, registry numbers and an exhaustive listing of product trade names and manufacturers. Each record includes useful patent information and a history of the agent's regulatory approval.

A comprehensive Subject and Synonym Index along with CAS Registry Number and EINECS number indexes provide useful entry points to the data. An extensive Manufacturer Directory provides convenient contact information.
