UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:17547039 AB - Provides a concise, basic introduction to the basic chemical aspects of medicial chemistry and will be invaluable to students taking courses in chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences or life sciences. It also covers relevant biology through the inclusion of biological topics and examples. Written in an accessible and readable style, it assumes little in the way of prior biological knowledge and only assumes a basic chemical knowledge. Incorporating numerous examples, applications and problems, the book begins by introducing some of the important areas directly relevant to medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. Subsequent chapters go on to discuss the classification of drugs and their sources, the general approach for designing new drugs, the importance of pharmacokinetics in the effective use of drugs and factors that have to be considered in the development and manufacture of a drug. Each chapter also contains an additional summary and question section, and solutions to the questions are provided at the end of the text._ ER -
