BIOMEDICAL CHEMISTRY

Biomedical Chemistry is a comprehensive textbook designed to provide students with a clear and structured understanding of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. The book covers major therapeutic drug classes, including general anesthetics, sedatives and hypnotics, antipsychotic agents, anticonvulsants, antitubercular and antimalarial drugs, antiprotozoal and antiviral agents, antifungals, anthelmintics, antibiotics, sulfonamides, anticancer agents, endocrine drugs, antidiabetic agents, and narcotic analgesics.

The book presents important drugs with their classification, chemical structures, mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, and side effects. It also includes structure–activity relationship (SAR) concepts and selected drug syntheses to help readers understand the relationship between chemical structure and pharmacological activity.

With a systematic presentation of individual drugs and therapeutic classes, this book serves as a useful academic reference for pharmacy students and learners of pharmaceutical sciences.
