The authors explain the interdisciplinary relationship of chemistry with biology, physics, pharmacy and medicine. The results of chemical research can be applied to understand chemical processes in cells and in the body, and new methods for drug transportation. Also, basic chemical ideas and determination of disease etiology are approached by developing techniques to ensure optimum interaction between drugs and human cells. This Book is an excellent resource for students and researchers in health-related fields with frontier topics in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. 606 $aPharmaceutical chemistry 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $amedicinal chemistry, natural products, drug design, drug discovery, translational research. 615 0$aPharmaceutical chemistry. 676 $a615.19 700 $aVale$b Nuno$0886746 702 $aRulka$b Anna 702 $aHudson$b Reuben 702 $aJones$b Michael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308772703316 996 $aBiomedical chemistry$91980408 997 $aUNISA
