About book : FOREWORD The introduction of the book "A Textbook of Medicinal Chemistry - I" makes me really happy. This book's material has been painstakingly created to conform to the Pharmacy Council of India's prescribed curriculum for students pursuing a bachelor's degree in pharmacy. To make the subject easier for students to understand, an attempt has been made to research it using as simple a vocabulary as possible. Many images throughout the book, including flowcharts and diagrams, help students understand difficult concepts. The genuine hope of the author is that readers of this book, academics and students alike, will find something of value. The pharmaceutical product development process serves as the cornerstone for the formulation development process. The formulation scientist has the responsibility of monitoring various material parameters (such as API and excipients), formulation process parameters, dosage forms, and other related aspects throughout the product development process. This book provides straightforward and understandable explanations of a wide range of formulation development-related subjects, including dose. I'm hopeful that this book will be well received by both instructors and students. We are willing to consider suggestions on any and all facets of the industry. Any deviations or inaccuracies that may have gone unnoticed are entirely our fault, and we would be very grateful if readers could point them out to us if they did.
