T&F INDIA Introduction To Microscopy by SUZANNE BELL KEITH MORRIS
An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry International 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 A 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.
