Essentials of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, 3rd Edition
By Donald Cairns

Publisher: Pharmaceutical Press
Number Of Pages: 280
Publication Date: 2008-03
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0853697450
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780853697459

Product Description:

It covers the core information required by pharmacy students to understand the action of modern drugs on the human body.The third edition is larger than the previous edition and includes a new chapter on licensing of drugs and medicines which describes the make up and function of important committees such as the Commission of Human Medicines and the British Pharmacopoeia Commission. This includes material that is within the public domain and explains the process of getting a drug to market.The majority of the chapters include more worked examples/tutorial examples and the chapter on Analytical spectroscopy has been updated to include “qualitative” spectroscopic methods especially NMR, mass spectroscopy and some IR and the chapter on Stability of drugs and medicines has been updated to include a major section on “prodrugs” which are inactive compounds designed to decompose within the body to release the active moiety.

Summary: An Effective Introduction to Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Rating: 4

This is a very well written and organized introduction to pharmaceutical chemistry, and for a non-chemist is reasonably easy to follow, especially with definitions being complete and included when needed. Tutorial examples are very helpful. Overall, the content is instructional and practical. I can recomend this book especially to those not too familiar the subject matter.

Summary: lecturer from Australia
Rating: 5

I have read the book and will recommend it as the textbook for pharmacy students. It covers most relevant chemistry topics for pharmacists and does so in just the right amount of explanatory detail. The selection of topics is very good and the text does not assume that pharmacy undergraduates must learn all the topics which chemistry undergraduates do.
It is truly a well thought out applied chemistry text.

Potent Natural Medicines: Mother Nature’s Pharmacy (Science & Society)

Publisher: Facts on File
Number Of Pages: 212

Product Description:

The impact society has on the progress and acceptance of new science - and vice versa - is greater than most people think. For instance, over the past five years, events indicate that citizens’ views have helped change the focus of the research and development carried out by both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by the Environmental Protection Agency. Likewise, citizen actions have influenced the direction of the activities of organizations such as the World Bank in their efforts to improve agriculture and living conditions in the developing nations of the world. The new “Science and Society” set not only highlights the “what” of science, but also the “why,” the “how,” and the “who.” Each volume provides an accessible, authoritative view of the history and current state of a particular issue. With a focus on humanizing science, this set brings each subject - from air pollution to nuclear power to natural medicines - to life by showing students all the factors that motivate research and revealing how scientists compete and collaborate with one another. By exploring the connections between science and society, especially in controversial areas, each book illustrates both how society supports science and how science in return supports society. Each volume includes an introduction providing an overview of the topic, complete chapter-by-chapter coverage, dozens of black-and-white photographs and line illustrations, a helpful index and glossary, lists of websites and suggestions for further reading that allow readers quick access to detailed information.
