This text is designed to be an undergraduate reference textbook for students of chemistry who aim to select degree modules geared towards medicinal chemistry. The first two chapters offer an overview of basic organic chemistry, followed by organic synthesis in Chapter 3, with an emphasis on the importance of synthetic procedures in relation to the chemistry of drug design. In Chapter 4, the book covers foundational aspects of biochemistry and biomedical science to provide a basis for students understanding where and how drugs work on selected targets. Later, the book explains how medicines have been created for selected topics in medicinal chemistry – namely against pathogens, cancer and neurological targets.
Features:
User-friendly text that deals with key methods in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry
An overture of drug design against disease targets
An introduction to the molecular basis of disease and key topics in medicinal chemistry
Geared toward chemistry undergraduates with an interest in pursuing medicinal chemistry further into their degree
A complete set of tutorial questions and answers for each chapter
Nathan Keighley studied chemistry at the University of York, with selected option modules in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. It was this course content that inspired the writing of this textbook, Introduction to Organic and Medicinal Chemistry because he hoped to pass on his interest in the subject to current students of organic and medicinal chemistry. Nathan then focused his studies into organic chemistry with a PhD in Environmental Chemistry, researching how organic molecules used in agriculture biodegrade in the environment to mitigate pollution, and later applied this skillset into a career in industry. Chemistry is a highly relevant subject to modern life and Nathan wishes the students who use this book the best of luck with their exams and hopes that they too are inspired to work in this most important of scientific fields.
