A concise overview of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Illustrates the importance of chemistry in an applied setting, and uses examples to demonstrate how organic chemistry plays a central role in the clinical use of drugs. Written at a level appropriate to non-chemistry specialist undergraduates studying pharmacy or a related discipline in the life/health sciences (including pharmacology and medicine). Suitable for students with A-level chemistry knowledge. This text combines three important features rarely found together in chemistry text books: a concise discussion specialising in organic chemistry, content designed to be appropriate in scope to a pharmacy (or related) degree, and a strong emphasis on the importance and application of chemical knowledge to clinical practice.
