An Introduction to Medicinal Chemisty

A detailed overview of the field, listing numerous contributors from various international universities. The content covers fundamental aspects of drug action, including drug targets like receptors, enzymes, and nucleic acids, as well as the chemical principles governing binding interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and hydrophobicity. Significant sections are devoted to drug discovery and development strategies, including SAR (Structure–Activity Relationships), QSAR (Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationships), molecular modeling, and combinatorial synthesis, along with discussions on pharmacokinetics (ADME). Furthermore, the text explores specific therapeutic areas, detailing the mechanism of action and clinical aspects of antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, and nervous system drugs, including classes like penicillins, HIV inhibitors, and adrenergic agents.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
