Bioorg Med Chem. 2011 Feb 1;19(3):1136-54. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2010.12.038. Epub 2010 Dec 24.

Abstract

New drugs are introduced to the market every year and each individual drug represents a privileged structure for its biological target. These new chemical entities (NCEs) provide insights into molecular recognition and also serve as leads for designing future new drugs. This review covers the syntheses of 21 NCEs marketed in 2009.
