An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry, Fifth Edition

An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry is the leading text for university courses on this subject. Renowned for being a textbook loved equally by both students and lecturers, it presents complete coverage in an accessible and engaging style. 

The text begins with the essential biochemistry on which an understanding of medicinal chemistry is built, introducing the structure and function of important drug targets. It then explores how drugs interact with the body and the consequences of those reactions. There is a section on general principles and strategies involved in discovering and designing new drugs, and another on useful 'tools of the trade'. The text ends with a contemporary look at specific topics within medicinal chemistry, for example, antiviral and anticancer agents; cholinergics and anticholinesterases; and antiulcer agents. 

Learning features throughout An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry help to unlock this fascinating subject. A glossary helps to familiarise the language of medicinal chemistry. Boxes present in-depth material and explore how concepts are applied in practice. Key points summarise sections within chapters, providing a basis for revision, and questions at the end of chapters and on the accompanying Online Resource Centre allow the reader to test their understanding and develop molecular modelling skills. 

Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine, 8th Edition

Whether you are following a problem-based, an integrated, or a more traditional medical course, clinical biochemistry is often viewed as one of the more challenging subjects to grasp. What you need is a single resource that not only explains the biochemical underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but also integrates laboratory findings with clinical practice. You will find all this, and more, in the eighth edition of Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine.This well-respected text provides comprehensive and measured guidance to this complex area, reflecting the ongoing changes in our understanding of clinical biochemistry while preserving the acknowledged strengths of previous editions: readability, a firm basis in the underlying science, and a clear focus on clinical applicability.

Drugs in Use, 4th Edition

This revised fourth edition of "Drugs in Use" presents a series of clinical case studies to illustrate how pharmacists can optimise drug therapy in response to the needs of individual patients. Patient information is interspersed with questions and answers suitable for self-study or group discussion and a pharmaceutical care plan is included within each chapter. The cases included address situations which are commonly encountered or associated with particular difficulties in treatment individualisation. Those in which major advances in therapeutics have recently occurred are also covered. All case studies from the previous edition have been updated and revised, and new chapters have been included on the following: eczema; psoriasis; Crohn's disease; oncology; and, substance misuse. Translating the knowledge acquired during undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy courses into the clinical skills required to optimise the therapy of patients can seem a daunting task. This book was conceived as a method of helping pharmacists and prescribers to 'bridge the gap' between the acquisition of theoretical knowledge about drugs and its practical application to individual patients. It will be an invaluable resource for pharmacy students, pre-registration pharmacists and practising pharmacists. It will also be a valuable resource for medical students and non-medical prescribers.
