Download or read book Chemistry of Drugs written by Eberhard Welter and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drugs are a way of modifying the chemistry of the body. They can be used to treat diseases and infections, correct imbalances in electrolytes and fluids, or alter mental status (such as inducing amnesia or stopping hallucinations). Drugs are used both for medical purposes and for recreation. In both cases, no drug is perfect. A perfect drug would be 100% effective while causing no side effects. Drug discovery has undergone many changes over the years but the goal has remained same: to uncover safer medicines for all diseases. Drug discovery and development is driven by the knowledge of chemistry of the molecules and their association with life process. The classical or traditional method adopted by medicinal chemists involves modifying bio-active molecules from natural products. These natural products are the source of active ingredients in most of the existing drugs. The current era has witnessed an ever changing role in modern drug discovery. The chemical methods adopted for the discovery of the molecules have also undergone changes leading to the development of technologies such as combinatorial chemistry, microwave assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) and high-throughput (HTS) biological screening. These new technologies have enabled medicinal scientists to accelerate the discovery process. The contribution of chemistry is not confined just to the discovery stage. The recent changes in synthetic chemistry is practiced in this environment center around new scientific advances in synthetic techniques and new technologies for rational drug design, combinatorial chemistry, automated synthesis, and compound purification and identification. As all drugs are chemicals, and pharmacy is mainly about the study of various aspects of drugs, including manufacture, storage, actions and toxicities, metabolisms and managements, chemistry still plays a vital role in pharmacy education. However, the extent at which chemistry used to be taught a couple of decades ago has certainly changed significantly. It has been recognized that while pharmacy students need a solid foundation in chemistry knowledge the extent cannot be the same as chemistry students may need. This book Chemistry of Drugs is an accessible introduction to organic chemistry, elementary medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry. The book offers an accessible introduction to subjects that are fundamental to pharmaceutical science. It looks at the chemical structure of drugs, and in particular to elements or fragments in these chemical structures. It covers all the key aspects of organic chemistry, elementary medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry, required by pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences students as well as researchers."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal Chemistry is concerned with chemistry, synthesis, and structure activity relationships, mode of action and uses of drugs of carbon compounds. There are several books are available on medicinal chemistry, the material in most of them is present in a diffused form or highly specialized. In the ever expanding knowledge of the chemistry of drugs it is very difficult to go through the various textbooks, journals, and pharmacopoeias. Medicinal Chemistry has virtually widened the scope to tackle all vital aspects related to such super specialties as: Bulk Drug Industry, Small Scale Drug Manufacturing Units, R & D Laboratories in Pharmaceutical Industries; PG/Ph.D., Research Scholars. In this book we have describe the basic concept behind the physiochemical properties affecting on drug properties, their action and synthesis which are useful to various graduated and undergraduate students.

Download or read book Drug Discovery with Privileged Building Blocks written by Jie Jack Li and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug Discovery with Privileged Building Blocks traces back PharmaBlock’s founding philosophy of designing privileged building blocks. High-quality building blocks are crucial not only to biological activities of different molecules but also to ADMET properties, which eventually will impact the success rate of drug discovery projects. A thorough study of how building blocks perform in drug molecules and a regular analysis of new building block structures in the latest researches have proven to be a fruitful strategy to generate novel building blocks. Using this strategy, PharmaBlock has supplied the drug industry with a great number of building blocks, which are increasingly being adopted by drug hunters, and these are identified in this book. Each chapter may be read and studied without learning the previous chapters. This book will be a good starting point for novice medicinal chemists, and veteran medicinal chemists will find it useful as well. Key Feature The book covers privileged building blocks appearing most frequently on patents for novel drugs. The latest relevant tactics are explained in the context of drug design and medicinal chemistry. Key synthesis, especially large-scale synthesis, is described. The most recent literature references are cited.
