The pharmaceutical sciences are concerned with the design, action, delivery, and disposition of drugs. They are a broad range of interdisciplinary areas of study which apply concepts from chemistry, biology, epidemiology, statistics, chemometrics, mathematics, physics, and chemical engineering. Pharmaceutical sciences are further divided into four main branches which are pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutics and pharmacognosy. The branch of medicine which deals with the study of drugs and their effect on living organisms is termed as pharmacology. Pharmaceutical chemistry refers to the branch of medicine which deals with the chemical properties of drugs, their synthesis and production. This book strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
