For many people, taking some form of medication is part of everyday life, whether for mild or severe illness, acute or chronic disease, to target infection or to relieve pain. However for most it remains a mystery as to what happens once the drug has been taken into the body: how do the drugs actually work? Furthermore, by what processes are new drugs discovered and brought to market? An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry , sixth edition, provides an accessible and comprehensive account of this fascinating multidisciplinary field. Assuming little prior knowledge, the text is ideal for those studying the subject for the first time. Part one of the book introduces the principles of drug action via targets such as receptors and enzymes. The book goes on to explore how drugs work at the molecular level (pharmacodynamics), and the processes involved in ensuring a drug meets its target (pharmacokinetics). Further sections cover the processes by which drugs are discovered and designed, and what has to happen before a drug can be made available to the public. The book concludes with a selection of current topics in medicinal chemistry, and a discussion of various key drug groups. The subject is brought to life throughout by engaging case studies highlighting particular drugs and the stories behind their discovery and development. The Online Resource Centre features: For students: · Multiple Choice Questions to support self-directed learning · Web articles describing recent developments in the field and further information on topics covered in the book · Journal Club to encourage students to critically analyse the research literature · Molecular Modelling Exercises, with new exercises in Chem3D · New assignments to help students develop data analysis and problem solving skills For registered adopters of the book: · A test bank of additional multiple-choice questions, with links to relevant sections in the book · Answers to end-of-chapter questions. · Figures from the book, ready to download. · Power Point slides to accompany every chapter in the book.

Nice book for beginners
Extremely helpful in understanding basic medicinal chemistry in a very lucid manner and much needed for chemist who have minimum biology knowledge

Great contents, not so great condition
I ordered this textbook to do some research for my dissertation and needed some background info on G-protein coupled receptors. This textbook was very comprehensive and gave me a good knowledge of how these rather complicated systems work. The only downside was the fact that when it arrived one of the corners was slightly damaged as though it had been dropped on corner but apart from that a good buy.

Most easy to read textbook I own!
It's so nice to read a textbook written in such down-to-earth english. One of the few textbooks I will gladly just pick up and read. The subject is presented in an easy to understand manner, with potentially difficult topics being made easily understandable. For those tired of the traditional boring textbooks that aim to just give the information without a care in the world for making it easily accessible, this is the book for you! On parr with Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers Organic Chemistry for its easy reading style (if you're familliar with it).

Straight to the point
I am really glad i purchased this book. It is written in simple english, very easy to understand. It gets straight to the point unlike other medicinal chemistry books i have used. Good for exam revision, as an aid to lecture material, however, if your looking for an in depth, reference book, medicinal chemistry by foyer's is a far better option which tends to contain the material in this book written in a more long-winded way with much more in depth explanations.

Una mini enciclopedia química-médica
Junto con Introducción a la Química Terapéutica de Cirilo, Llombart y Tamargo es uno de los mejores libros para introducirse en la química farmacéutica. Es un libro nuevo, con ilustraciones muy útiles, y un claro lenguaje. ¿Lo mejor? Que explica con detalle las bases de la interacción farmacológica con ideas recordatorias de bioquímica o biología. Es un excelente libro para introducirse al temario o profundizar (es de los más nuevos).
