It is with immense pleasure that we present to you the third volume of A Textbook of Medicinal Chemistry, which delves deeper into the fascinating world of drug design, discovery, and the chemical principles that underpin modern pharmaceutical science. This edition has been carefully curated to meet the evolving needs of students, educators, and researchers in the field of medicinal chemistry. In this volume, we aim to provide a comprehensive and cohesive exploration of advanced concepts in medicinal chemistry, encompassing both theoretical foundations and practical applications. We have incorporated the latest developments in the field, ranging from new drug targets, molecular mechanisms, to innovative drug discovery approaches. The content has been meticulously organized to facilitate a deeper understanding of drug-receptor interactions, the role of pharmacophores, structure-activity relationships, and the critical processes of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. This textbook is designed to serve as a vital resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing pharmacy and medicinal chemistry courses, as well as for researchers and professionals who are keen on exploring new dimensions in drug design and development. Each chapter has been structured to offer clarity and coherence, with clear illustrations and examples that simplify complex concepts. Additionally, we have included exercises and questions at the end of each chapter to promote critical thinking and self-assessment. We are deeply grateful to the academic and scientific community for their feedback and support in crafting this edition. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our colleagues, students, and collaborators, whose insights have been invaluable in refining this textbook.

We hope that A Textbook of Medicinal Chemistry-III serves not only as a guide but also as a source of inspiration for future pharmacists and medicinal chemists, fostering innovation and progress in this dynamic and ever-expanding field.
