| Summary |
"Pharmacology for Chemists, Second Edition is aimed at industrial and academic chemists who are entering the field of medicinal chemistry and who have had little or no education in or exposure to the biological sciences, especially physiology and pharmacology. The first portion of this book concentrates on biological/pharmacological principles and concepts, and the second demonstrates how these concepts and principles are applicable to the medicinal chemist's efforts. Selected categories of drugs are used as examples. Pharmacology for Chemists, Second Edition prepares the reader for further in-depth study and practice in many areas of pharmacology."--BOOK JACKET. |
