Within the framework of genomics and the rational development of new therapeutic strategies, a general question one might ask is What is the role of quantum chemistry in medicinal chemistry in the world of macromolecular systems and in the era of exponentially increasing data on these systems Looking at the examples illustrated above we can postulate that details at the electronic level will definitely play a role in the development...

The report discusses the importance of chemistry in medicine, the need for cooperative research in this area, the lack of adequate facilities in the United States, the superior situation in other countries, and so on. No specific solution is proposed, however, just a plea for cooperative research (73). The efforts of the Chemical Warfare Service, with which several members of the Committee had been associated, were pointed to as an example of productive cooperative research between physical and biological scientists (as discussed by Daniel Jones in his paper in this volume). What happened to the proposed research institute At...

Recognition of the need for chemists to design chemicals that are not only useful but of minimal hazard can be traced back to at least 1928, when Alice Hamilton, a well-known physician and pioneer in industrial medicine, made the following statements in her chapter Protection against industrial poisoning in the book Chemistry in Medicine [1] ...

Returning from this digression to the chemists of the sixteenth century, and first to the progress of the campaign for chemistry in medicine, which was the most prominent feature of chemical activity of the century, the work and influence of Libavius cannot be ignored. 

Interestingly, if we chart the pesticide usage in various countries for the past 70 years alongside life expectancy, they rise in parallel. At the same time, age-adjusted cancer risks for nonsmokers have been declining. The use of chemistry in medicines and public health interventions has had more direct human health impact, but pesticides help reduce the real cost of fruits and vegetables. That s vital, because the 25% of people who eat the most produce have only half the total cancer risks of the 25% who eat the least ...
