The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry

2011-08-16T16:30:00.000-07:00

The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry

Most medicinal chemists working in the pharmaceutical industry are organic synthetic chemists with little or no background in medicinal chemistry. These chemists must acquire a good knowledge of medicinal chemistry during their first years in the pharmaceutical/drug discovery industry. This book aims to be their practical handbook - a complete guide to the drug discovery process. The book reviews practical aspects of Medicinal Chemistry, emphasising the daily problems met by the medicinal chemist when dealing with lead discovery/identification methodologies, with structure-activity relationship studies aimed to scale up potency and target selectivity, and when optimising pharmacokinetic and pharmaceutical properties by means of ultimate chemical modifications. This is the second edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry , the first edition being published in February 1996. The new edition is thoroughly revised, with around 30% new material, and refocussed to reflect the recent developments in genomics, proteomics, high throughput screening of compounds and drug solubilisation. An effort has been made to remove the overlap that exists in the previous edition and four new chapters have been introduced. * Written by experts in the field * The first edition of The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry , published in 1996, was nicknamed 'The Bible' by medicinal chemists. * The only available book dealing with the practical aspects of medicinal chemistry, from conception of the molecules through to the production of drugs * An essential practical handbook for the medicinal chemist, working in the pharmaceutical industry, with little or no background in medicinal chemistry-a complete guide to the drug discovery process.

Clinical Anatomy
An understanding of the relevance of anatomy to clinical practice is fundamental for medical students and young doctors. For this reason most of the questions in this self-assessment book are presented as case histories or clinical puzzles that require anatomical information for their elucidation. This will confirm the importance of basic anatomy to the clinical situation in line with modern teaching practices which encourage problem solving and will facilitate effective student-centred learning enabling the reader to assess his/her own progress. This book covers the whole field of topographical (gross) anatomy, regional, systematic and clinical, and as anatomy is essentially a visual subject, high quality full colour illustrations are included along with radiographs, MRI and CT images which will benefit visual appreciation of important anatomical features.

http://ifile.it/pyqt97iInnovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Process of Drug Discovery and Development

innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Process of Drug Discovery and Development By Takuji Hara Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Number Of Pages: 288 Publication Date: 2003-04 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1843760509 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781843760504 Product Description: Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry traces the discovery and development of drugs in Japan and the UK both historically and sociologically. It includes sixteen case studies of major pharmaceutical developments in the twentieth century, encompassing, among others, beta-blockers, beta-stimulants, inhaled steroids and histamine H2-antagonists. The book illustrates that the four stages of drug development – namely compound, application, organizational authorization and market – are interactively shaped by heterogeneous actors and institutions. The book also identifies three different types of pharmaceutical development – paradigmatic innovation, application innovation and modification-based innovation, all with distinguishable features in the drug development process. Finally, several historical, structural and cultural factors influencing the shaping of medicines are revealed by the comparison between British and Japanese drug innovation. Addressing a number of practical implications for the promotion of the pharmaceutical industry, this book will be of enormous interest to students, researchers and academics specializing in science and technology, and the management of technology and innovation. Practitioners, managers, and policy planners within the pharmaceutical industry will also deem this book invaluable.

Aziridines and epoxides in organic synthesis

2011-01-23T02:17:00.000-08:00

Review

"... should therefore be included in the library of every chemistry department. Experts in the field of catalysis and organic synthesis in both academia and industry will value the book as a very important "spring-loaded" source of information."
Angewandte Chemie

Product Description

Aziridines and epoxides are among the most widely used intermediates in organic synthesis, acting as precursors to complex molecules due to the strains incorporated in their skeletons. Besides their importance as reactive intermediates, many biologically active compounds also contain these three-membered rings. Filling a gap in the literature, this clearly structured book presents the much needed information in a compact and concise way. The renowned editor has succeeded in gathering together excellent authors to cover synthesis, applications, and the biological aspects in equal depth.
Divided roughly equally between aziridines and epoxides, the twelve chapters discuss:

Synthesis of aziridines
Nucleophilic ring-opening of aziridines and epoxides
Organic synthesis with aziridine building blocks
Vinyl aziridines in organic synthesis
Diastereoselective aziridination reagents
Synthetic aspects of aziridinomitocene chemistry
Biosynthesis of biologically important aziridines
Organic catalysis of epoxide and aziridine ring formation
Metal-mediated synthesis of epoxides
Asymmetric epoxide ring opening chemistry
Epoxides in complex molecule synthesis
Biological activity of epoxide-containing molecules

A high-quality reference manual for academic and industrial chemists alike.

2010-12-27T05:35:00.000-08:00

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book offers a very nice general overview of the current knowledge of signal transduction and regulation. The author has done an excellent job of assimilating an inherently complicated subject into clear, simple, and logical descriptions.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, June 2009) "Krauss has set out to update a general resource for those with interest in signal transduction. The addition of an introductory chapter (Ch.1) makes this edition well pitched to undergraduate with some knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry and would serve as a suitable textbook for an upper-level undergraduate course in this area. the text would also be a useful reference to beginning graduate students in signal transaction and a ready compliment to course that rely on primary literature for course discussions. For instructors, this book would make an excellent companion for teaching signal transduction, as the figures are well laid out and illustrate clearly many points." (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, September/October 2008)
