From the Author:

A useful book for anyone interested in chemistry of drugs
This book represents 14 years experience in teaching pharmaceutical chemistry to students of Pharmacy, Chemistry and Pharmacology in UK universities. Although primarily intended as an undergraduate textbook, Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry will be useful to anyone interested in the chemistry of drugs and their action in the body.

From the Back Cover:

Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a basic introduction for pharmacy students, and explains the principles of chemistry which underpin the study of pharmacology, drug formulation and drug design. It covers all the core material necessary to provide an understanding of the basic chemistry of drug molecules such as acid/base reactions, ionisation, stability and drug analysis. Each chapter contains tutorial examples and sets problems to allow the reader to test their understanding of the material. All problems are taken from recent examinations in pharmacy and pharmaceutical science. Answers are supplied at the end of the book. This second edition of Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry reflects the changes that have been made to undergraduate courses in pharmacy and pharmaceutical science since publication of the first edition in 2000. New chapters have been included on physicochemical properties of drugs, stereochemistry and drug metabolism. Existing chapters on acids and bases, partition coefficient and biopharmacy have been updated and extended. Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is recommended reading for pharmacy, pharmaceutical science, medicinal chemistry and chemistry undergraduates.
