Chemistry for Pharmacy Students: General, Organic and Natural Product Chemistry

Chemistry for Pharmacy Students is a student–friendly introduction to the key areas of chemistry required by all pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various areas of general, organic and natural product chemistry (in relation to drug molecules)
Clearly structured to enhance student understanding the book is divided into six clear sections. The book opens with an overview of general aspects of chemistry and their importance to modern life, with particular emphasis on medicinal applications. The text then moves on to a discussion of the concepts of atomic structure and bonding and the fundamentals of stereochemistry and their importance in pharmacy– in relation to drug action and toxicity. Various aspects of aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic chemistry and their pharmaceutical importance are then covered with final chapters looking at organic reactions and their applications to drug discovery and development and natural product chemistry.Accessible introduction to they key areas of chemistry required for all pharmacy degree coursesStudent–friendly and written at a level suitable for non–chemistry studentsIncludes learning objectives at the beginning of each chapterFocuses on the properties and actions of drug molecules
