SKU: N/A Category:

Medicinal chemistry is a complex course since its inception. Written in an easy to follow and conversational style, Medicinal Chemistry: The Molecular Basis of Drug Discovery focuses on the fundamental concepts that govern the discipline of medicinal chemistry as well as how and why these concepts are essential to therapeutic decisions: The book emphasizes functional group analysis, Pharmacophores and the basics of drug structure evaluation.  It covers key drug targets including enzymes, receptors, and ion channels, and hit and lead discovery.

In a systematic fashion, learn how to identify and evaluate the functional groups that comprise the structure of a drug molecule and their influences on solubility, absorption, acid/base character, binding interactions, and stereochemical orientation. Relevant Phase I and Phase II metabolic transformations are also discussed for each functional group.
