About the Book

Although some practical manuals are available for understanding different aspects of Medicinal Chemistry, none of them covers broadly. This necessitated the authors to compile “Advanced Medicinal Chemistry – A Practical Guide” to suit the requirements of postgraduate (PG) students of pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical analysis, quality assurance, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry. It is useful to PG students of chemistry, biotechnology and allied fields too.
