Multiple Choice Questions with answers have been included at the end of each chapter.

Standard medicinal chemistry courses and texts are organized by classes of drugs with an emphasis on descriptions of their biological and pharmacological effects. This book represents a new approach based on physical organic chemical principles and reaction mechanisms that allow the reader to extrapolate to many related classes of drug molecules. The Second Edition reflects the significant changes in the drug industry over the past decade, and includes chapter problems and other elements that make the book more useful for course instruction. - New edition includes new chapter problems and exercises to help students learn, plus extensive references and illustrations - Clearly presents an organic chemist's perspective of how drugs are designed and function, incorporating the extensive changes in the drug industry over the past ten years - Well-respected author has published over 200 articles, earned 21 patents, and invented a drug that is under consideration for commercialization

Essentials of Organic Chemistry is an accessible introduction to the subject for students of Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry and Biological Chemistry. Designed to provide a thorough grounding in fundamental chemical principles, the book focuses on key elements of organic chemistry and carefully chosen material is illustrated with the extensive use of pharmaceutical and biochemical examples. In order to establish links and similarities the book places prominence on principles and deductive reasoning with cross-referencing. This informal text also places the main emphasis on understanding and predicting reactivity rather than synthetic methodology as well as utilising a mechanism based layout and featuring annotated schemes to reduce the need for textual explanations. * tailored specifically to the needs of students of Pharmacy Medical Chemistry and Biological Chemistry * numerous pharmaceutical and biochemical examples * mechanism based layout * focus on principles and deductive reasoning This will be an invaluable reference for students of Pharmacy Medicinal and Biological Chemistry.

Pharmaceutical organic chemistry is the main branch of organic chemistry deals with the study of preparation, structure and reactions of organic compounds. As it deals with all the chemical reactions related to life, study of Pharmaceutical organic chemistry is important. Application of Organic chemistry in the development of pharmaceuticals, resulted in evolving Pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Hence studying Organic chemistry and applying this knowledge in Pharmaceutical substances is called as Pharmaceutical organic chemistry. Organic chemistry forms the basis of biochemistry, in which various aspects of health and diseases are studied. The biochemical knowledge is very important for the practice of nutritional, medical and related life sciences. In addition Organic chemistry paved way for the development of medicinal chemistry, Pharmaceutical organic chemistry, bioinformatics, biotechnology, gene therapy, Pharmacology, pathology, chemical engineering, dental science and so on. Organic substances play such a vital role in our daily life that all of us should know about organic chemistry in order to understand the manner how it influence our life process.
