Wissenschaftliche Pharmazeutische/Medizinische Chemie: Arzneistoffe - von der Struktur zur Wirkung

Far more than a textbook Whether for study or practice - this richly illustrated textbook offers an easily accessible and at the same time content demanding presentation of pharmaceutical/medical chemistry. At the same time, it serves as a work and reference book for all those working in the pharmaceutical industry. The authors clearly explain the molecular principles that are indispensable for an understanding of properties, mode of action, side effects and interactions of currently used drugs. They combine the chemical and biochemical basics with the presented drug structures. A general part first introduces the different drug targets and shows how drugs work at the molecular level and in which chemical reactions they are involved in their journey through the body. Other topics include active ingredient optimisation with regard to these processes in the context of drug design, drug development and aspects of drug analysis. Special chapters sharpen the view for the recognition of structural warnings as well as for the chemical basis of drug interactions. The special part divides the active ingredients according to therapeutic classes and informs in precise and understandable structure about physiological and biochemical basics | Design and development | Structure and properties | Mechanism of action | Structure action RelRelRelRelRelRelRelotransformation | Synthetic aspects | Analytics Overview boxes with basic information as well as short monographs to far over 1200 drugs from almost 500 substance classes, including the common commercial preparations, round off each chapter. Clear graphics and the summary, clear presentation contribute to understanding. A work that sets new standards!
