For many people, taking some form of medication is part of everyday life, whether for mild or severe illness, acute or chronic disease, to target infection or to relieve pain. However for most it remains a mystery as to what happens once the drug has been taken into the body: how do the drugs actually work? Furthermore, by what processes are new drugs discovered and brought to market? An Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry, sixth edition, provides an accessible and comprehensive account of this fascinating multidisciplinary field. Assuming little prior knowledge, the text is ideal for those studying the subject for the first time. Part one of the book introduces the principles of drug action via targets such as receptors and enzymes. The book goes on to explore how drugs work at the molecular level (pharmacodynamics), and the processes involved in ensuring a drug meets its target (pharmacokinetics). Further sections cover the processes by which drugs are discovered and designed, and what has to happen before a drug can be made available to the public. The book concludes with a selection of current topics in medicinal chemistry, and a discussion of various key drug groups. The subject is brought to life throughout by engaging case studies highlighting particular drugs and the stories behind their discovery and development. The Online Resource Centre features: For students: * Multiple Choice Questions to support self-directed learning * Web articles describing recent developments in the field and further information on topics covered in the book * Journal Club to encourage students to critically analyse the research literature * Molecular Modelling Exercises, with new exercises in Chem3D * New assignments to help students develop data analysis and problem solving skills For registered adopters of the book: * A test bank of additional multiple-choice questions, with links to relevant sections in the book * Answers to end-of-chapter questions. * Figures from the book, ready to download. * Power Point slides to accompany every chapter in the book.show more

In the setting where anticoagulation therapy is necessary, clinicians are faced with the challenge of utilizing agents that inherently have a small therapeutic window and the ability for medication mishaps when not used appropriately. This risk is balanced against the need to prevent against or treat thrombosis, which can also have life altering consequences. This is an excellent resource for any pharmacist who wants to build expertise in caring for inpatients on anticoagulants. It also serves as a resource for a pharmacist who is tasked with teaching other pharmacists the clinical knowledge they need to manage patients on anticoagulants.

The NAPLEX[registered] (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination[registered]) is the standard licensing exam that all U.S. pharmacy students must pass to practice pharmacy. It's an arduous exam that tests a daunting range of knowledge. Approximately 10 per cent of students taking the exam for the first time fail to achieve a passing score. Preparing for the NAPLEX[registered] by reviewing all the material from each pharmacy school course would be overwhelming. A far better approach would be to study only the information most relevant to the exam, summarized in abbreviated bullet format, and that's what The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy contains. A one-volume compilation of pharmacy knowledge, The APhA Complete Review for Pharmacy is also a popular reference for busy practitioners wishing to stay current. Features: all 42 chapters and 900+ review questions have been reviewed and revised by the authors and editorial team to provide up-to-date information and concepts, plus explanations that reinforce key learning points; the tables that list medications now indicate the top 100 drugs in boldface to alert the reader to medicines in frequent use; and, the Key Points section, which is a summary of a chapter's concepts, has been moved from the back of each chapter to the very front. It is followed by a new feature, the Study Guide Checklist, which is intended to help readers assess their readiness for the NAPLEX[registered]. Seasoned advice from Peter A. Chyka on studying for and taking the NAPLEX[registered] and MPJE[registered] is provided.
