Inorganic Medicinal And Pharmaceutical Chemistry

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 main object of this book is to attract the under graduate and post graduate students, to learn the basic theories of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry. Thus the book is aimed to eliminate the inadequacy in teaching and learning of Pharmaceutical Inorganic Chemistry by providing enormous information about the inorganic compounds used in Pharmacy. -The content of the book is innovative and presented in eight chapters, in a concise form as per the needs of the students. -Incorporation of all the Chemical & Pharmaceutical aspects of the inorganic compounds and their formulations -Describing all the aspects of inorganic pharmaceuticals in easy to understand manner is the first of its kind. -For each chapter, a brief introduction, detailed discussion of the basic theory and applications in pharmacy are provided. -Pharmaceutically important inorganic pharmaceuticals are discussed in detail with the sources, official standards, preparations, physical and chemical properties, tests for identification, uses and their storage conditions. -The principles of assay of each compound, which is difficult to remember by the students is described in a student friendly manner to understand easily and able to reproduce well in examinations, is the first of its kind.- Presentation with simplified way of explanation along with chemical reactions of all compounds helps to reproduce well in examinations.

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.

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

Pharmaceutical organic chemistry is the main branch of organic chemistry deals with the study of preparation, structure and reactions of organic compounds. As it deals with all the chemical reactions related to life, study of Pharmaceutical organic chemistry is important. Application of Organic chemistry in the development of pharmaceuticals, resulted in evolving Pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Hence studying Organic chemistry and applying this knowledge in Pharmaceutical substances is called as Pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Organic chemistry forms the basis of biochemistry, in which various aspects of health and diseases are studied. The biochemical knowledge is very important for the practice of nutritional, medical and related life sciences. In addition Organic chemistry paved way for the development of medicinal chemistry, Pharmaceutical organic chemistry, bioinformatics, biotechnology, gene therapy, Pharmacology, pathology, chemical engineering, dental science and so on. Organic substances play such a vital role in our daily life that all of us should know about organic chemistry in order to understand the manner how it influence our life process.

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