Medicinal Chemistry plays a crucial role in the discovery and development of therapeutic agents that improve human health. Medicinal Chemistry-II with Pharmacological Mechanism of Action is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the chemical and pharmacological basis of drug action, focusing on essential drug classes and their mechanisms. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for students, researchers, and professionals in pharmacy and medicinal chemistry.
The book systematically covers various drug classes, including antihistamines, anti-ulcer agents, anti-neoplastic drugs, cardiovascular agents, endocrine modulators, and local anesthetics. Each chapter delves into the structural aspects, synthetic pathways, and pharmacological mechanisms underlying drug action, emphasizing the correlation between chemical properties and biological responses.
Key features of this book include:
• Detailed coverage of drugs acting on different physiological systems.
• Explanation of the pharmacological mechanisms of drug action.
• Structure-activity relationship (SAR) discussions to understand drug modifications and efficacy.
• Insights into the development and therapeutic application of important drug classes.
• A focus on both traditional and emerging drug molecules.
The authors, Dr. Syed Salman Ali, Mr. Jaideep Kumar Singh, Dr. Bhoomika Chaudhary, and Dr. Bijander Kumar, have combined their expertise to present complex medicinal chemistry concepts in a structured and accessible manner. This book is tailored for students pursuing pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, and related fields, as well as professionals seeking a reference for pharmaceutical research and development.
We hope this book serves as a valuable resource for learners and inspires further advancements in medicinal chemistry. We extend our gratitude to all contributors, students, and colleagues who have supported the development of this work.
