The volume many important aspects of medicinal chemistry, including techniques in drug discovery pharmacological aspects of natural products chemical mediators: druggable targets advances in medicinal chemistry The field of medicinal chemistry is growing at an unprecedented pace, and this volume takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering a range of new research and new practices in the field. The volume takes into account the latest therapeutic guidelines put forward by the World Health Organization and the U.S Food and Drug Administration.. Topics include: drug design drug discovery natural products and supplements and nutraceuticals pharmaceutical approaches to sexual dysfunction drug resistance parasites new natural compounds and identification of new targets stereochemistry aspects in medicinal chemistry common drug interactions in daily practices Handbook of Research on Medicinal Chemistry: Innovations and Methodologies will be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of pharmaceutical scientists and faculty as well as for industry professionals. Review “An excellent resource for cultivating sound research acumen in the area of medicinal chemistry. Unlike most books in the field, this goes beyond purely theoretical knowledge and greatly focuses on experimental procedures and practical approaches to develop a nuance understanding in the field of drug discovery. I thoroughly enjoyed the clear and interesting presentation of the material. Great efforts have been invested to ensure that it is easily accessible to both students and teachers. The book shows promising potential in exploring the field of medicinal chemistry and will prove to be an important aid to the researchers.” ―Neelam Singla, PhD, Director, Accura Research Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad, India "A valuable book that will deliver newer aspects and applications in the field of medicinal chemistry. . . . A very useful reference book that encompasses various principles and applications associated with medicinal chemistry. [It] integrates insights regarding drug discovery, pharmacological aspects of natural products, druggable targets of chemical mediators, and several classes of medicinal agents. . . . It is a good skillful blend of medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, chemical synthesis, pharmacology, formulation, and miscellaneous subjects." ―From the Foreword by Vivekananda Mandal, PhD, Former WERC Researcher, Government of Japan; Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guru Ghasidas University (Central University), India About the Author Debarshi Kar Mahapatra, PhD, is currently an Assistant Professor at Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Kamla Nehru College of Pharmacy, RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur, India.
