Book Description
The formulation development process is built upon the foundation of the pharmaceutical product development process. During the development of the product, the formulation scientist is responsible for paying attention to several parameters connected to the material (API, Excipients, and so on), the formulation process, the parameters of the formulation process, dosage forms, and so on. In this book, a variety of formulation development-related topics, including those pertaining to dosage, are broken down in a way that is clear and easy to grasp. I am hoping that both the students and the teachers will have positive reactions to this book. We are open to hearing recommendations regarding any and all aspects of the profession. We take full responsibility for any deviations or errors that may have been overlooked, and we would be extremely appreciative if readers would bring them to our attention if they did occur.

ISBN: 1585283649
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Medicinal chemistry is a complex topic. Written in an easy to follow and conversational style, Basic Concepts in Medicinal Chemistry focuses on the fundamental concepts that govern the discipline of medicinal chemistry as well as how and why these concepts are essential to therapeutic decisions. The book emphasizes functional group analysis and the basics of drug structure evaluation. In a systematic fashion, learn how to identify and evaluate the functional groups that comprise the structure of a drug molecule and their influences on solubility, absorption, acid/base character, binding interactions, and stereochemical orientation. Relevant Phase I and Phase II metabolic transformations are also discussed for each functional group. Key features include: • Discussions on the roles and characteristics of organic functional groups, including the identification of acidic and basic functional groups. • How to solve problems involving pH, pKa, and ionization; salts and solubility; drug binding interactions; stereochemistry; and drug metabolism. • Numerous examples and expanded discussions for complex concepts. • Therapeutic examples that link the importance of medicinal chemistry to pharmacy and healthcare practice. • An overview of structure activity relationships (SARs) and concepts that govern drug design. • Review questions and practice problems at the end of each chapter that allow readers to test their understanding, with the answers provided in an appendix. Whether you are just starting your education toward a career in a healthcare field or need to brush up on your organic chemistry concepts, this book is here to help you navigate medicinal chemistry.

Medicinal Chemistry
Author: Thomas Nogrady
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190282967
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
Fully updated and rewritten by a basic scientist who is also a practicing physician, the third edition of this popular textbook remains comprehensive, authoritative and readable. Taking a receptor-based, target-centered approach, it presents the concepts central to the study of drug action in a logical, mechanistic way grounded on molecular and principles. Students of pharmacy, chemistry and pharmacology, as well as researchers interested in a better understanding of drug design, will find this book an invaluable resource. Starting with an overview of basic principles, Medicinal Chemistry examines the properties of drug molecules, the characteristics of drug receptors, and the nature of drug-receptor interactions. Then it systematically examines the various families of receptors involved in human disease and drug design. The first three classes of receptors are related to endogenous molecules: neurotransmitters, hormones and immunomodulators. Next, receptors associated with cellular organelles (mitochondria, cell nucleus), endogenous macromolecules (membrane proteins, cytoplasmic enzymes) and pathogens (viruses, bacteria) are examined. Through this evaluation of receptors, all the main types of human disease and all major categories of drugs are considered. There have been many changes in the third edition, including a new chapter on the immune system. Because of their increasingly prominent role in drug discovery, molecular modeling techniques, high throughput screening, neuropharmacology and genetics/genomics are given much more attention. The chapter on hormonal therapies has been thoroughly updated and re-organized. Emerging enzyme targets in drug design (e.g. kinases, caspases) are discussed, and recent information on voltage-gated and ligand-gated ion channels has been incorporated. The sections on antihypertensive, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiarrhythmic, and anticancer drugs, as well as treatments for hyperlipidemia and peptic ulcer, have been substantially expanded. One new feature will enhance the book's appeal to all readers: clinical-molecular interface sections that facilitate understanding of the treatment of human disease at a molecular level.

Book Description
The introduction of the book "Medicinal Chemistry III" makes me incredibly happy. This book's content has been painstakingly created to conform to the Pharmacy Council of India's prescribed curriculum for students pursuing a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. To make the subject easier for students to understand, an attempt has been made to research it using as simple a vocabulary as possible. Many images throughout the book, including flowcharts and diagrams, help students understand difficult concepts. The genuine hope of the author is that readers of this book, academicians and students alike, will find something of value. The pharmaceutical product development process serves as the cornerstone for the formulation development process. The formulation scientist bears the responsibility of monitoring various material parameters (such as API and excipients), formulation process parameters, dosage forms, and other related aspects during the product development process. This book provides straightforward and understandable explanations of a wide range of formulation development-related subjects, including dose. I'm hopeful that this book will be well received by both teachers and students. We are willing to consider suggestions about any and all facets of the industry. Any faults or deviations that may have gone unnoticed are entirely our fault, and we would be very grateful if readers could point them out to us if they did.
