The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry

The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry

The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry Most medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry are organic synthetic chemists with little or no background in medicinal chemistry. These chemists must acquire a good knowledge of medicinal chemistry during their first years in the pharmaceutical/drug discovery industry. This book aims to be their practical handbook - a complete guide to the drug discovery process. The book reviews practical aspects of Medicinal Chemistry, emphasising the daily problems met by the medicinal chemist when dealing with lead discovery/identification methodologies, with structure-activity relationship studies aimed to scale up potency and target selectivity, and when optimising pharmacokinetic and pharmaceutical properties by means of ultimate chemical modifications. This is the second edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry , the first edition being published in February 1996. The new edition is thoroughly revised, with around 30% new material, and refocussed to reflect the recent developments in genomics, proteomics, high throughput screening of compounds and drug solubilisation. An effort has been made to remove the overlap that exists in the previous edition and four new chapters have been introduced. * Written by experts in the field * The first edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry , published in 1996, was nicknamed 'The Bible' by medicinal chemists. * The only available book dealing with the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry, from conception of the molecules through to the production of drugs * An essential practical handbook for the medicinal chemist, working in the pharmaceutical industry, with little or no background in medicinal chemistry-a complete guide to the drug discovery process.

Clinical Anatomy

Clinical Anatomy An understanding of the relevance of anatomy to clinical practice is fundamental for medical students and young doctors. For this reason most of the questions in this self-assessment book are presented as case histories or clinical puzzles that require anatomical information for their elucidation. This will confirm the importance of basic anatomy to the clinical situation in line with modern teaching practices which encourage problem solving and will facilitate effective student-centred learning enabling the reader to assess his/her own progress. This book covers the whole field of topographical (gross) anatomy, regional, systematic and clinical, and as anatomy is essentially a visual subject, high quality full colour illustrations are included along with radiographs, MRI and CT images which will benefit visual appreciation of important anatomical features.

Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy

Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy

Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy Textbooks on human physiology abound. However, they are either basic in nature or are rigorous treatments written for medical and graduate students and exceed the level of detail that pharmacy students need. Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy puts the important topics right at students' fingertips. It describes physiology with just the right amount of detail and contains references to therapeutics and the practice of pharmacy that help students understand basic concepts. Providing the fundamentals of physiology specifically geared towards pharmacy students, the book establishes the connection between physiology and pharmacy.
