Key points summarise sections within chapters, providing a basis for revision, and questions at the end of chapters and on the accompanying Online Resource Centre allow the reader to test their understanding and develop molecular modelling skills. Boxes present in-depth material and explore how concepts are applied in practice. Instant Notes in Organic Chemistry, Second Edition, is the perfect text for undergraduates looking for a concise introduction to the subject, or a study guide to use before examinations. A glossary helps to familiarise the language of medicinal chemistry. Learning features throughout An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry help to unlock this fascinating subject.

The text ends with a contemporary look at specific topics within medicinal chemistry, for example, antiviral and anticancer agents cholinergics and anticholinesterases and antiulcer agents. The book is not meant to replace lecture material or conventional textbooks.

There is a section on general principles and strategies involved in discovering and designing new drugs, and another on useful 'tools of the trade'. This text is aimed at students entering first year university courses. It then explores how drugs interact with the body and the consequences of those reactions.

The text begins with the essential biochemistry on which an understanding of medicinal chemistry is built, introducing the structure and function of important drug targets. Renowned for being a textbook loved equally by both students and lecturers, it presents complete coverage in an accessible and engaging style.

Each section finishes with a summary of the most important facts. In this way, students are encouraged to think about what they are reading at all times, rather than getting information 'gift wrapped'. The next bit of theory follows and so on. A space is then provided for the student's answer and then the full model answer is given. In each section of the book, the student is led through the subject matter by being given a short piece of theory, followed by a question. The text assumes knowledge covered in Patrick's Beginning Organic Chemistry. The self-learning text concentrates on reactions and mechanisms with emphasis on rationalizing reactions rather than memorizing them. Indeed, the introduction emphasizes that students should read their lecture notes and textbook before tackling the self-learning text. The book is not meant to replace lecture material or conventional textbooks, but rather to enhance the course by challenging the student to test his or her knowledge. This text is aimed at students entering first year university courses.
