N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 142-143) and index; General principles of medicinal chemistry -- Neurotransmitters as targets -- Medicinal chemistry and the central nervous system -- Local and circulatory hormone targets -- Anti-infective agents -- Cancer chemotherapy
N2  - This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity; 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
