    Long description:

    Many new antileukotriene drugs are now marketed as antiasthma drugs and
    represent the first new drugs in this field since the 1970s. This book
    covers the steps that have led to the discovery and development of these
    new drugs and offers detailed descriptions of their clinical
    applications. The review chapters on the main aspects of basic and
    applied leukotriene research are written by leading specialists in the
    field, and the volume takes a new approach in presenting information of
    particular interest to both scientists and clinicians in the fields of
    asthma, inflammation and allergic diseases.
