From chemistry to life sciences. The didactic concept and thematic focus helped this work achieve breakthrough success in a very short time. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of drug action has expanded dramatically in recent years. For the second edition, the textbook has been completely updated and enriched with numerous new illustrations focusing on drug-target interactions. The authors place even greater emphasis than before on the relationship between chemical structure and biopharmaceutical properties. "Medicinal Chemistry" is aimed at pharmacists, physicians, biologists, and chemists in both study and practice. Also available as an app.
