Taking medication is a common occurrence for many people, whether it is to soothe an aching head, regulate blood sugars, or to treat life threatening conditions. In the UK alone, over 900 million prescriptions are dispensed every year. Overseeing all of this are pharmacists: experts in medicines and their use.Pharmaceutical Chemistry provides a wide-ranging overview of organic chemistry as applied to the study and practice of pharmacy. Drugs are simply chemicals, so to fully understand their manufacture, formulation, and the way they work in our bodies, a knowledge of organic compounds and their reactions is essential.By reading this book, students will begin to understand how a drug molecule is made; the process that turns it into a medicine; the role the pharmacist has when dispensing that medicine; and what happens in the body when it is taken. Most importantly, the text shows how each of these aspects are integrated, helping you to see the bigger picture. Pharmaceutical Chemistry is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources.The ebook offers a mobile experience and convenient access: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks.The online resources include:For students:- Self-assessment questions to help the reader to check and reinforce understanding of the material introduced in each chapter- Bonus material to accompany chapters 3, 7 and 11- Answers to self-check questions from the bookFor registered adopters of the book:- Figures from the book, available to download.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Antihypertensive Agents, provides the only comprehensive treatment of anti-hypertensive properties (e.g., structure-activity relationship, analytics, and metabolism) of pharmaceutical chemicals. The topics discussed include diuretics, renin inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, a-blocking agents, b-adrenergic antagonists, and vasodilators. Data is supported by more than 1400 references and 300 chemical structures. This book is essential reading for physicians and pharmaceutical researchers, as well as pharmaceutical chemistry students.

A slow and consistent study of the approaches for drug design can help the foundation for a good scientific intuition. This edition includes over 30 new illustrations, numerous new mechanistic schemes and enhanced original figures. In addition, the use of color makes its study more pleasant and impressive. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised with a modern look. The chapters on QSAR and Drug Metabolism have been extended, emphasizing concepts, such as the hyperconjugative effect or the anomeric effect, in which the student normally finds it difficult to understand. Stereoelectronic effects are essential to explain the mechanism of action of drugs and therefore, its agile and intuitive handling will allow the student access to both chemical and biological mechanisms, in a more rational way. The text is illustrated with hundreds of formulas and many tables that facilitate the understanding of this interesting discipline, which is halfway between Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacology. This Volume is aimed at building basis principles on drug design and it is likely to be of interest to students reading, pharmacy, pharmacology, and pharmaceutical chemistry. This book emphasizes general principles of drug design and drug action from an organic chemical perspective, rather than from the overview of specific classes of drugs, allowing the reader to extrapolate information to many related classes of drug molecules. This volume presents an organic chemistry’s perspective of how drug are designed and assuming no prior knowledge of biochemistry, and pharmacology. It is written in an informal, clear style so that undergraduates can easily understand the concepts presented.

This is a comprehensive textbook designed for students and professionals in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. It delves into the principles of chemistry as they apply to drug discovery, development, and manufacturing. Covering a wide range of topics from organic and inorganic chemistry to medicinal chemistry and pharmacokinetics, the book provides a detailed exploration of the chemical processes involved in designing and synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds. It also addresses the analytical techniques used to evaluate drug efficacy and safety, making it an essential resource for understanding the chemical foundation of pharmacology and therapeutic drug development.

It deals with the study of inorganic drugs based on pharmacological classification. It also lays emphasis on the chemistry as a knowledge of the chemical properties, which will help the reader in understanding the rationale behind the tests for identity and also the storage conditions. The book is student-friendly as it is written in an understandable way, covering the entire syllabus of D.Pharm prescribed by Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) ER 2020. The matter is presented in such a way as to avoid confusion and to make the reading of the book a pleasurable experience. The lucid language of the book would facilitate quick revision.

This new book, from the editor of the highly successful Pharmaceutical Analysis, sets out to define the area of pharmaceutical chemistry as distinct from medicinal chemistry. It focuses less on prototypes of drugs that perhaps never came to market and more on the drugs currently in use. The emphasis in the book is on the physicochemical properties of drug molecules and, in so far as they are known, the way that these properties govern the interaction of the drug with its target. Important physicochemical properties include pKa and partition coefficient and the properties of the structural elements within the drug which provide interactions with the target via a range of intermolecular forces. The last fifteen years has seen a great advance in the knowledge of protein structures and a strong emphasis is given to the interaction of drugs with proteins which shape the majority of drug mechanisms. Features: - Focus on intramolecular actions - Mechanisms of action richly illustrated - Self-assessment included - Comprehensive chapters on vitamins and biotechnological productsThis new book, from the editor of the highly successful Pharmaceutical Analysis, sets out to define the area of pharmaceutical chemistry as distinct from medicinal chemistry.
