Medication is widely used to support the human body to fight against infection and pain. In an era of pharmaceutical and medicinal challenges, we have all become more familiar with drug production and distribution. However, do we really know what happens before those drugs are distributed? What's the process behind drug discovery? How do our bodies interact with those chemicals?

An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry, 7th edition, offers a complete and accessible approach to this multidisciplinary field. Its student-friendly writing style makes this text an ideal tool for those coming to the subject for first time, but also for students looking to deepen their understanding.

The book guides students through understanding the principles of drug action targets in Part A, to how drugs interact at a molecular level with our organs to offer therapeutic value in Part B, and exploring drug design and discovery, as well as regulatory procedures in Part C. Offering a practical approach, Part D provides a deeper look at specific tools and techniques of medicinal chemistry, concluding with emerging topics including antibodies and anticancer agents in Part E.

From principles to practice, accompanied by examples and case studies emerging from current biomedical research, the book will equip students with a robust understanding of medicinal chemistry, to prepare them for future success.

About the Author

Dr Graham L. Patrick gained his BSc Honours at Glasgow University, winning the McKay-Smith Prize for Chemistry. He completed his PhD with Professor Kirby and Professor Robins studying the biosynthesis of gliotoxin and related fungal metabolites. Following this, he worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a research chemist and radiochemist on a variety of projects that included topic areas such as opioids, antibacterial agents and antidepressants. His academic career has included positions at Leeds and Strathclyde Universities as well as the Australian National University. He joined the University of Paisley (now the University of the West of Scotland) in 1990, teaching medicinal chemistry and drug design. Currently, he is an Associate Lecturer with the Open University, an author of scientific textbooks and fiction, and an historical archivist
Industry Reviews
The best general undergraduate textbook on medicinal chemistry. This new edition retains the accessible style of writing, but provides important updates on the topics. * Dr Mark Ashton, School of Pharmacy, Newcastle University, UK *
I read this masterpiece to build a strong knowledge of medicinal chemistry and it has helped me a lot. I would definitely recommend it to others. Detailed explanations of enzyme-substrate interactions and much more are very useful. * Jinkal Gondaria, MChem student, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *
A very useful medical chemistry book and teaching tool. Great learning resources and easy to digest content. * Dr Silvia M.M.A. Pereira-Lima, Department of Chemistry, University of Minho, Portugal *
