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.

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.

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 idea of creating new drugs is now moving from serendipity to rational design.Drug discovery and development process is intended to make available medicines that are safe and effective in cultivating the length and quality of life and relieving pain and suffering. However, the process is very complex, time consuming, and resource intensive, needing multi-disciplinary expertise and innovative approaches. The area of pharmaceutical chemistry is varied and contains many areas of expertise. Natural-product and analytical chemists separate and recognize active components from plant and other natural sources. Theoretical chemists create molecular models of existing drugs to evaluate their properties. These computational studies assist medicinal chemists and bioengineers design and synthesize compounds with enhanced biological activity. Emerging trends in medicinal chemistry efforts are moving towards the more targeted approach and this is being revolutionized and enhanced by genomics and proteomics. Target identification and validation are the first key stages in this process. Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry is devoted to scientific and technical research on the developments of new drugs and the advances of manufacturing technology of drugs and intermediates. The worldwide contributions by eminent researchers and authors cover the comprehensive coverage of new drug research, methods of synthesis; complexing and cheiating agents, results of pharmacological, toxicological, and biochemical studies; investigation of structure; and impurities in pharmaceutical substances with the development of ecologically safe and economically feasible methods of industrial production. It is very important for scientists all over the globe to enhance drug discovery research for better human health.

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.

The study of elements and the compounds they form is referred to as inorganic chemistry. Organic chemistry, on the other hand, is concerned with carbon and the compounds it forms. However, there is a lot of crossovers between organic and inorganic, thus the two categories are not completely separate from one another. The book's key features include an overview of general elements and the relevance of those aspects, with a focus on the applications in the pharmaceutical field. is a standard textbook that is often used for an introductory level inorganic chemistry undergraduate course. It provides a complete pedagogical framework to assist students with understanding essential concepts. This book gives a decent introduction to the topic; explains a variety of inorganic compounds as well as the minimal chemical facts and ideas that are required to comprehend current inorganic chemistry; offers a good overview of the subject. provides an advanced and in-depth descriptive treatment of all of the official compounds featured, with a significant emphasis on the production, characteristics, assay, and medicinal uses of the compounds. The book “A Textbook of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry” is prepared in an exhaustive fashion and includes facts that have been brought up to date about the subjects that are covered in the curriculum. The book Covers the fundamentals of basic inorganic chemistry that are necessary for undergraduate pharmacy students, while students of chemistry, biology, and other relevant subjects will also find this book to be fascinating and informative.

Metal-based drugs are a commercially important sector of the pharmaceutical business, yet most bioinorganic textbooks lack the space to cover comprehensively the subject of metals in medicine. Uses of Inorganic Chemistry in Medicine approaches an understanding of the topic in a didactic and systematic manner. The field of inorganic chemistry in medicine may usefully be divided into two main categories - drugs which target metal ions in some form, whether free or protein-bound, and secondly, metal-based drugs where the central metal ion is usually the key feature of the mechanism of action. This latter category can further be subdivided into pharmacodynamic and chemotherapeutic applications, as well as those of imaging. The book summarises the chemical and biological studies on clinically used agents of lithium, gold and platinum, as well as highlighting the research on prospective new drugs, including those based on vanadium and manganese. The coverage allows a clear distinction between pharmacodynamic and therapeutic properties of metal-based drugs and focuses not only on those clinical agents in current use, but also on new drugs and uses. This book serves to fill an important niche, bridging bioinorganic and medicinal chemistry and will undoubtedly be of use to senior undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as being an invaluable asset for teachers and researchers in the discipline.
