Foye S Principles Of Medicinal Chemistry

The Sixth Edition of this well-known text has been fully revised and updated to meet the changing curricula of medicinal chemistry courses. Emphasis is on patient-focused pharmaceutical care and on the pharmacist as a therapeutic consultant, rather than a chemist. A new disease state management section explains appropriate therapeutic options for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and men's and women's health problems. Also new to this edition: Clinical Significance boxes, Drug Lists at the beginning of appropriate chapters, and an eight-page color insert with detailed illustrations of drug structures. Case studies from previous editions and answers to this edition's case studies are available online at thePoint.

This comprehensive Fifth Edition has been fully revised and updated to meet the changing curricula of medicinal chemistry courses. The new emphasis is on pharmaceutical care that focuses on the patient, and on the pharmacist a therapeutic clinical consultant, rather than chemist. Approximately 45 contributors, respected in the field of pharmacy education, augment this exhaustive reference. New to this edition are chapters with standardized formats and features, such as Case Studies, Therapeutic Actions, Drug Interactions, and more. Over 700 illustrations supplement this must-have resource.

Drug discovery is a constantly developing and expanding area of research. Developed to provide a comprehensive guide, the Handbook of Medicinal Chemistry covers the past, present and future of the entire drug development process. Highlighting the recent successes and failures in drug discovery, the book helps readers to understand the factors governing modern drug discovery from the initial concept through to a marketed medicine. With chapters covering a wide range of topics from drug discovery processes and optimization, development of synthetic routes, pharmaceutical properties and computational biology, the handbook aims to enable medicinal chemists to apply their academic understanding to every aspect of drug discovery. Each chapter includes expert advice to not only provide a rigorous understanding of the principles being discussed, but to provide useful hints and tips gained from within the pharmaceutical industry. This expertise, combined with project case studies, highlighting and discussing all areas of successful projects, make this an essential handbook for all those involved in pharmaceutical development.

With its Student Workbook CD-ROM and new case studies, the Fifth Edition of this acclaimed self-paced review enables students to master the principles and applications of organic functional groups. Moreover, it prepares students for the required pharmacy courses in medicinal chemistry by thoroughly covering nomenclature, physical properties, chemical properties, and metabolism. As students progress through the text, they will develop such important skills as drawing chemical structures and predicting the solubility, instabilities, and metabolism of each organic functional group.
