About Book
Medicinal chemistry is at the heart of pharmaceutical sciences, bridging the gap between chemistry and biology to develop safe and effective therapeutic agents. This textbook has been written with the primary objective of catering to the academic needs of D. Pharm and B. Pharm students. While a broad understanding of medicinal chemistry is essential, this book emphasizes a key area i.e. Structure Activity Relationship (SAR). SAR is pivotal in determining how the chemical structure of a drug influences its biological activity, allowing for better drug design, optimization, and innovation. By systematically examining the effects of structural modifications on drug efficacy, selectivity, and toxicity, we delve into the fundamental principles that govern the drug design. It is written with clarity, precision, and simplicity to help students navigate complex ideas and apply them in their professional journey. Constructive suggestions, comments and criticism on the subject matter of the book will be gratefully acknowledged, as they will certainly help to improve future editions of the book. It is hoped that the book will be received favorably as an effective book by both students and teachers of pharmacy.
