A comprehensive introduction to inorganic chemistry and, specifically, the science of metal-based drugs, Essentials of Inorganic Chemistry describes the basics of inorganic chemistry, including organometallic chemistry and radiochemistry, from a pharmaceutical perspective. Written for students of pharmacy and pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry and other health-care related subjects, this accessible text introduces chemical principles with relevant pharmaceutical examples rather than as stand-alone concepts, allowing students to see the relevance of this subject for their future professions. It includes exercises and case studies.

This book serves to fill an important niche, bridging bioinorganic and medicinal chemistry and will be an invaluable asset for many in the discipline.

This book gives a comprehensive overview about medicinal inorganic chemistry. Topics like targeting strategies, mechanism of action, Pt-based antitumor drugs, radiopharmaceuticals are covered in detail and offer the reader an in-depth overview about this important topic.

Textbook of Inorganic Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry in its 11th edition has been meticulously revised in a way that highlights the importance of the role of pharmacy education controlling authorities in India devising study materials that would give them parity with all the courses including the newly introduced Pharm. D. course. The individual chapters are based on my well-known original uniformly designed principles of monographs - like presentation, keeping together drugs' groups with similar therapeutic activities. Actions of drugs on the organism as also actions of organism on the drug (e.g. biotransformation) are - to the extent chemical contemplation is accessible - part of the biochemically oriented pharmaceutical chemistry. The regularly recurring sections of the book refer particularly to structure of drugs, preparation/synthesis, properties, pharmacology, biotransformation, purity tests, analysis, uses, etc. The book is meant for students of all courses in pharmacy and for the interested chemists and medical students. It will further serve the practising hospital pharmacists for continuing education and as a reference book for working pharmacists including those connected with the industry especially the ones engaged in analytical work.

Inorganic pharmaceutical chemistry text geared to actual practice in the profession of pharmacy & the health sciences. Provides theoretical & practical background to students. Compendial references.

The present book "Pharmaceutical Chemistry Inorganic, Vol I has been written according to the revised syllabus framed by the Pharmacy council of India as per Education Regulations 1991. In this book, subject matter has been recognised incorporating applicationwise classification(Therapeutic, pharmaceutical etc.) rather than the traditional chemical classification. More emphasis has been further laid by explaining the medical and pharmaceutical terms and to what extent it is justifiable to classify a compound under any of the categories. Inevitably, students will find repetition for some compou.

The book is intended for use by undergraduate students of pharmacy . It follows the general arrangement and classification of drugs. The general format of presentation of each compound includes introduction preparation physical characters. Chemical properties identification tests purity tests assay methods and uses.

Medicinal chemistry is a complex topic. Written in an easy to follow and conversational style, Basic Concepts in Medicinal Chemistry 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 and the basics of drug structure evaluation. 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. Key features include: • Discussions on the roles and characteristics of organic functional groups, including the identification of acidic and basic functional groups. • How to solve problems involving pH, pKa, and ionization; salts and solubility; drug binding interactions; stereochemistry; and drug metabolism. • Numerous examples and expanded discussions for complex concepts. • Therapeutic examples that link the importance of medicinal chemistry to pharmacy and healthcare practice. • An overview of structure activity relationships (SARs) and concepts that govern drug design. • Review questions and practice problems at the end of each chapter that allow readers to test their understanding, with the answers provided in an appendix. Whether you are just starting your education toward a career in a healthcare field or need to brush up on your organic chemistry concepts, this book is here to help you navigate medicinal chemistry.
