An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry

The present book “an introduction to medicinal chemistry” is an introduction to the chemical and biological parameters, challenges and underlying principles involved in the early stages of drug discovery from bench to preclinical stage. My main objective has been to compile various aspects of drug discovery principles in the form of a handbook instead a textbook. The book may provide one-stop information dealing with mechanistic, biological and Chemical aspects of drug design and improvisation of their actions. This has been exemplified by providing relevant examples of drugs for a better understanding. “Instructor Resources are available with this book at .”
