Dieser Band gehört zur Reihe 'Current Toxicology Series' und ist das erste maßgebliche Nachschlagewerk, das sich kritisch mit Enzymsystemen auseinandersetzt, die am Metabolismus von Chemikalien und anderer Xenobiotika beteiligt sind. Ein deutlicher Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Medikamentenstoffwechsel. Jedes Kapitel behandelt ein spezifisches Enzymsystem und diskutiert detailliert die metabolischen und toxikologischen Aspekte des metabolisierenden Enzymsystems. Das \"Handbook of Enzyme Systems for Drugs and other Xenobiotics\" ist eine einzigartige Informationsquelle, denn es setzt sich speziell mit dem Thema der Wirkstoff-Forschung und -Entwicklung auseinander. Geschrieben von führenden internationalen Experten auf diesem Gebiet.
