Medicinal chemistry incorporates bio-organic chemistry, organic
synthetic methods, physical organic chemistry and organic reaction
mechanisms. These areas of chemistry are crucial to the design and
synthesis of new drugs, both in academia and the pharmaceutical
industry. Chemistry and Medicines: An Introductory Text provides a
general introduction to this fascinating subject. The first chapters
contain a brief historical introduction followed by a description of
the chemical features involved in the adsorption, distribution,
metabolism and excretion of a drug. The remaining chapters describe
the chemistry underlying the design and synthesis of some of the key
drugs used to combat some major diseases of the peripheral and central
nervous system, infectious diseases and cancers. A glossary and
suggestions for further reading complete this textbook. The book is
aimed at those studying advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
courses in medicinal chemistry.
