The Application of Various Spectroscopies to the Identification of Drug Metabolites

  • Chapter
Concepts in Biochemical Pharmacology

Abstract

It has long been recognized that structural elucidation of drug metabolites contributes greatly to the understanding of the mechanism of drug action. However, in the past, the difficult and expensive nature of this task restricted studies to relatively few drugs.
