Description

Pharmaceutical Chemistry by David G. Watson provides in-depth understanding of pharmaceutical chemistry as a distinct field from medicinal chemistry. Focusing on drugs currently in use, this book explores the physicochemical properties of drug molecules and their interactions with targets. Key aspects of pharmaceutical chemistry are examined, including pKa and partition coefficient values, and how these properties influence drug-target interactions through intermolecular forces. The book also delves into intramolecular actions, mechanisms of action, and the role of protein structures in shaping drug mechanisms. Comprehensive chapters cover topics such as vitamins and biotechnological products. This comprehensive textbook is designed to support self-assessment and provides a richly illustrated exploration of pharmaceutical chemistry.
