Book Description
This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more. It describes organic compounds that are of importance for medicine: heterocycles, alkaloids, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, and more. Organic chemistry plays a pivotal role in medicine and in developing, synthesizing, and understanding pharmaceutical compounds. It focuses on carbon-containing compounds, which form the backbone of organic molecules. Functional groups within organic molecules modulate the biochemical properties of organic compounds, like stability, solubility, and activity. Organic chemistry is used for designing drug formulations based on disease mechanisms. Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.
