Chemistry for Pharmacy
Students is
a student-friendly introduction to the key areas of chemistry required by all
pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students. The book provides a comprehensive
overview of the various areas of general, organic and natural products
chemistry (in relation to drug molecules).
Clearly structured to enhance student
understanding, the book is divided into six clear sections. The book opens with
an overview of general aspects of chemistry and their importance to modern
life, with particular emphasis on medicinal applications. The text then moves
on to a discussion of the concepts of atomic structure and bonding and the
fundamentals of stereochemistry and their significance to pharmacy- in relation
to drug action and toxicity. Various aspects of aliphatic, aromatic and
heterocyclic chemistry and their pharmaceutical importance are then covered
with final chapters looking at organic reactions and their applications to drug
discovery and development and natural products chemistry.
