Medicinal Chemistry I Practical Manual

Más información sobre el libro

The subject Medicinal Chemistry is at the heart of modern drug discovery and development. One of the important steps in the process of drug discovery is synthesis of pure drug molecules through most efficient, less time consuming, economical and environment friendly route, which is an intricate and most challenging task for the medicinal & organic chemists. The medicinal chemists are primarily concerned with synthesis of organic molecules to be used as pharmaceuticals and the way these molecules interact in biological pathways. The synthesis involves a careful selection of a particular type of reaction, reagents, solvents, catalysts along with optimized reaction conditions.The publication of this book is undertaken with a primary aim is to provide information to the undergraduate students regarding synthesis of different organic compounds of medicinal importance in pharmaceutical chemistry. . It also describes methods used for identification and characterisation of synthesised compounds.Our focus is not only on theaspects relevant to the synthesis and characterisation of compounds but also on principles.
