Medical Chemistry

Download Medical Chemistry – A Molecular and Biochemical Approach

There have been many changes in medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology since the second edition of this book was published in 1988. Accordingly, it has required extensive updating. This process was initiated in the Chemistry Department of Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada where Dr. Nico van Gelder, an Adjunct Emeritus Professor, introduced the now retired Thomas Nogrady to Donald Weaver, a medicinal chemist and clinical neurologist. Together, Weaver and Nogrady undertook the challenge of updating this book. In this way the third edition of Medicinal Chemistry was started and the two authors have worked together to ensure a continuity in the style and content that has made this book popular among students and researchers alike.
