Medication is widely used to support the human body to fight against infection and pain. In an era of pharmaceutical and medicinal challenges, and thanks to the media, we have all become more familiar with drug production and distribution. However, do we really know what happens before thosedrugs are distributed? What's the process behind drug discovery? How do our bodies interact with those chemicals?An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry, 7th edition, offers a complete and accessible approach to this multidisciplinary

This book collects in one single volume, the practical aspects of Medicinal Chemistry, seen from a chemical point of view, including the wealth of information which chemists accumulate over a career, but generally is never organized and presented in a coherent form in print. Emphasis is given to how medicinal chemists conduct their search for, and design of, new drug entities. In contrast to other books on the market, it focuses on the chemistry, rather than pharmacological concepts or description
