Medicinal Chemistry: A Molecular And Biochemical Approach
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fully Updated And Rewritten By A Basic Scientist Who Is Also A Practicing Physician, The Third Edition Of This Popular Textbook Remains Comprehensive, Authoritative And Readable. Taking A Receptorbased, Targetcentered Approach, It Presents The Concepts Central To The Study Of Drug Action In A Logical, Mechanistic Way Grounded On Molecular And Biochemical Principles. Students Of Pharmacy, Chemistry And Pharmacology, As Well As Researchers Interested In A Better Understanding Of Drug Design, Will Find This Book An Invaluable Resource.Starting With An Overview Of Basic Principles, Medicinal Chemistry Examines The Properties Of Drug Molecules, The Characteristics Of Drug Receptors, And The Nature Of Drugreceptor Interactions. Then It Systematically Examines The Various Families Of Receptors Involved In Human Disease And Drug Design. The First Three Classes Of Receptors Are Related To Endogenous Molecules: Neurotransmitters, Hormones And Immunomodulators. Next, Receptors Associated With Cellular Organelles (Mitochondria, Cell Nucleus), Endogenous Macromolecules (Membrane Proteins, Cytoplasmic Enzymes) And Exogenous Pathogens (Viruses, Bacteria) Are Examined. Through This Evaluation Of Receptors, All The Main Types Of Human Disease And All Major Categories Of Drugs Are Considered.There Have Been Many Changes In The Third Edition, Including A New Chapter On The Immune System. Because Of Their Increasingly Prominent Role In Drug Discovery, Molecular Modeling Techniques, High Throughput Screening, Neuropharmacology And Genetics/Genomics Are Given Much More Attention. The Chapter On Hormonal Therapies Has Been Thoroughly Updated And Reorganized. Emerging Enzyme Targets In Drug Design (E.G. Kinases, Caspases) Are Discussed, And Recent Information On Voltagegated And Ligandgated Ion Channels Has Been Incorporated. The Sections On Antihypertensive, Antiviral, Antibacterial, Antiinflammatory, Antiarrhythmic, And Anticancer Drugs, As Well As Treatments For Hyperlipidemia And Peptic Ulcer, Have Been Substantially Expanded. One New Feature Will Enhance The Book'S Appeal To All Readers: Clinicalmolecular Interface Sections That Facilitate Understanding Of The Treatment Of Human Disease At A Molecular Level.
