Reviews for Handbook of Drug Metabolism, Third Edition

The compendium is split into sections on; Fundamental aspects of drug metabolism, Factors which affect drug metabolism, Technologies to study drug metabolism, and Application of metabolism studies in drug discovery and development. Each chapter is well laid out with clear and useful figures and well referenced. As someone who wanted to know more about this field and having a basic knowledge, this was a good read. The chapters on enzyme inhibition and the genetic basis of variation in drug metabolism and toxicity were particularly good. -Prof. Dudley E. Shallcross, University of Bristol, UK
