Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry

A meaningful dialogue between chemists and pharmacologists is the single most important element of the drug discovery process. The necessary link between medicinal chemistry and pharmacology has been elucidated by Paton [2] ...

The medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of codeine can also shed light on why specific side effects (the unintended, undesirable, and unwanted effects) associated with codeine occur. Codeine s side effects, or toxicities, are discussed in the next chapter. 

In this book the current state of affairs with regard to the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology of the H3 receptor and the several ligands available are presented by a number of experts in the field. The book presents an extended review of what has happened since the first H3 paper appeared. We hope that this work will lead to an increase of the interest, of both academia and industry, for the H3 receptor, especially as a target for drug development.
