From the Back Cover

Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is an introduction to the subject covering all the core material necessary to provide an understanding of the basic chemistry of drug molecules. Now a core text on many university courses, it contains numerous worked examples and problems. This fourth edition has been revised and updated to include new chapters on: · chromatographic methods of analysis · medicinal chemistry: the science of rational drug design. Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry will be of particular interest to pharmacy undergraduates and students of chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. Review of the previous edition: ‘... an essential read for pharmacy students and, indeed, all science students who wish to consider careers in the Pharmaceutical industry...’ Talanta, The International Journal of Pure and Applied Analytical Chemistry Donald Cairns is Acting Head of the School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK.

Review

"An essential chemistry textbook which supports the integrated pharmacy education and helps the students to grasp the principles of pharmaceutical chemistry and how they are applied in pharmacy." Dr Praveen Bhugra, University of Sunderland, June 2013. (Dr Praveen Bhugra)

 "...Donald Cairns is a well-known educator, mentor, and researcher...this is an excellent resource for pharmacy students taking pharmaceutical chemistry and for individuals who intend to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry...Readers will find this as a useful reference." Rahmat M Talukder, Ph.D.,Doody's Notes, May 2012. (Rahmat M Talukder Doody's Notes)

"This is a great book detailing the basic chemistry of drugs...Throughout the book there are problems that can be worked, and it includes the answers at the end of the book. It is very easy-to-read and has very good graphics to support the discussions. In addition to being a good text, it is a good refresher for those that would like to review this topic."
