Text Book of Medicinal Chemistry – II is a comprehensive guide designed for students, educators, and professionals in the field of pharmacy and medicinal chemistry. The book covers a detailed study of the development, classification, mechanism of action, and uses of various drug classes. It provides a systematic approach to understanding the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of selective drugs and includes the synthesis of important compounds. This book begins with an in-depth study of antihistaminic agents, focusing on H1 and H2 antagonists, as well as proton pump inhibitors, highlighting their therapeutic roles and mechanisms. It delves into antineoplastic agents, exploring alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antibiotics, and plant products used in cancer therapy. Further, the text covers vital drug categories such as anti-anginal agents, diuretics, and antihypertensive drugs, providing insights into their pharmacological effects and clinical applications. The section on antiarrhythmic drugs explains their role in managing cardiac arrhythmias, while the chapter on anti-hyperlipidemic agents discusses treatments for cholesterol and lipid disorders. Additionally, the book explores coagulants and anticoagulants, drugs for congestive heart failure, and those acting on the endocrine system, including corticosteroids, thyroid medications, and oral contraceptives. A detailed segment is devoted to antidiabetic agents, offering a thorough overview of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs. Lastly, the book discusses local anesthetics, providing a clear understanding of their SAR and various derivatives. With a focus on the synthesis of superscripted drugs, this book is an indispensable resource for mastering the intricate concepts of medicinal chemistry and fostering innovation in pharmaceutical sciences.
