For many people, taking some form of medication is part of everyday life, whether for mild or severe illness, acute or chronic disease, to target infection or to relieve pain. However for most it remains a mystery as to what happens once the drug has been taken into the body: how do the drugs actually work? Furthermore, by what processes are new drugs discovered and brought to market? An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry, sixth edition, provides an accessible and comprehensive account of this fascinating multidisciplinary field. Assuming little prior knowledge, the text is ideal for those studying the subject for the first time. Part one of the book introduces the principles of drug action via targets such as receptors and enzymes. The book goes on to explore how drugs work at the molecular level (pharmacodynamics), and the processes involved in ensuring a drug meets its target (pharmacokinetics). Further sections cover the processes by which drugs are discovered and designed, and what has to happen before a drug can be made available to the public. The book concludes with a selection of current topics in medicinal chemistry, and a discussion of various key drug groups. The subject is brought to life throughout by engaging case studies highlighting particular drugs and the stories behind their discovery and development. The Online Resource Centre features: For students: * Multiple Choice Questions to support self-directed learning * Web articles describing recent developments in the field and further information on topics covered in the book * Journal Club to encourage students to critically analyse the research literature * Molecular Modelling Exercises, with new exercises in Chem3D * New assignments to help students develop data analysis and problem solving skills For registered adopters of the book: * A test bank of additional multiple-choice questions, with links to relevant sections in the book * Answers to end-of-chapter questions. * Figures from the book, ready to download. * Power Point slides to accompany every chapter in the book.

Il volume è considerato, a livello nazionale e internazionale, un testo di riferimento fondamentale per l'insegnamento e lo studio della Farmacologia nei Corsi di Laurea delle Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia e di Farmacia. Il volume descrive gli effetti dei farmaci attraverso un'analisi integrata dei loro meccanismi di azione molecolare e cellulare con i processi fisiologici e fisiopatologici alla base della malattia. L'azione dei farmaci può essere compresa solo nel contesto di ciò che accade nel corpo umano. Quindi, all'inizio di molti capitoli vengono brevemente discussi i processi biochimici e fisiologici rilevanti per l'azione dei farmaci descritti nel capitolo. Sono state inoltre inserite informazioni relative alle strutture dei farmaci, ma solo nei capitoli in cui esse risultavano utili a una migliore comprensione delle caratteristiche farmacologiche e farmacocinetiche dei composti. L'organizzazione generale del testo è rimasta invariata in questa ottava edizione, ma tutti i capitoli sono stati aggiornati (descritti oltre 100 nuovi agenti) ed è stato aggiunto un capitolo sulla pelle. Le principali novità della presente edizione riguardano gli agonisti parziali, la modulazione allosterica e la desensibilizzazione, la sezione recettori nucleari, gli ormoni e le sostanze che aumentano le capacità cognitive.

Pharmacy students are required to know how to make, administer, design and deliver medicines, as well as to diagnose and treat illnesses. Patient safety is now a very strong focus of pharmacy degrees. Competence evaluations of pharmacy students (and of all students in the healthcare professions) using simulated assessments including Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and Criterion Referenced Assessments (CRAs) are increasingly commonplace. OSCEs and CRAs simulate aspects of real-life pharmacy practise to train students to integrate their knowledge of medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, therapeutics, legislation, clinical skills, numeracy, communication and empathy, and to test their ability to provide safe and effective patient care. They also test students' ability to think on their feet. Being able to make a decision in a timely manner which optimises patient care is one of the most important skills that all employers demand. This book provides a unique resource to support students and trainers in developing and practising these essential skills. It is designed as a useful resource for undergraduate students, clinical tutors and those involved in teaching students on pharmacy degree courses.
