The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry


Book Description

The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry fills a gap in the list of available medicinal chemistry literature. It is a single-volume source on the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry. Considered ""the Bible"" by medicinal chemists, the book emphasizes the methods that chemists use to conduct their research and design new drug entities. It serves as a practical handbook about the drug discovery process, from conception of the molecules to drug production. The first part of the book covers the background of the subject matter, which includes the definition and history of medicinal chemistry, the measurement of biological activities, and the main phases of drug activity. The second part of the book presents the road to discovering a new lead compound and creating a working hypothesis. The main parts of the book discuss the optimization of the lead compound in terms of potency, selectivity, and safety. The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry can be considered a ""first-read"" or ""bedside book"" for readers who are embarking on a career in medicinal chemistry. NEW TO THIS EDITION: * Focus on chemoinformatics and drug discovery * Enhanced pedagogical features* New chapters including: - Drug absorption and transport - Multi-target drugs* Updates on hot new areas: NEW! Drug discovery and the latest techniques NEW! How potential drugs can move through the drug discovery/ development phases more quickly NEW! Chemoinformatics

A Galaxy Of Eighty Carefully Chosen Medicinal Compounds Have Been Presented In Anoriginal-Unique-Style Comprising Of : Chemical Structure-Synonym (S)/Chemical Name(S)-Theory-Chemicals Required-Procedure-Precautions- Recrystallizatio-Theoretical Yield/Practical Yield-Physical Parameters-Uses, And -Questions For Viva-Voce.It Is Hoped That Advanced Practical Medicinal Chemistry Would Certainly Help To Bridge Existing Gap And Fill Up The Long Needed Vacuum In The Synthesis Of Drugs In Pharmaceutical Chemistry Departments, Academics And Bulk-Drug Industries, And May Provide The Basis For Meaningful Productive Group Discussions Of Synthetic Problems On A Broader Perspective.




The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry


Book Description

The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, 2E, is a single-volume source on the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry. The successful first edition was nicknamed "The Bible" by medicinal chemists, and the second edition has been updated, expanded and refocused to reflect developments over the last decade. Emphasis is put on how medicinal chemists conduct their search for and design of new drug entities. In contrast to competing books, it focuses on the chemistry rather than pharmacological concepts or descriptions of the various therapeutic classes of drugs. Most medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry are organic synthetic chemists who must acquire a strong knowledge of medicinal chemistry as they enter the industry. This book aims to be their practical handbook - a complete guide to the drug discovery process. The only book available dealing with the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry Serves as a complete guide to the drug discovery process, from conception of the molecules to drug production Updated chapters devoted to the discovery of new lead compounds, including combinatorial chemistry
