Beskrivelse

A comprehensive foundation for organic medicinal chemistry, primarily focusing on how chemical structures and physico-chemical properties influence the effectiveness and safety of drugs. It defines the discipline as the study of drug design, synthesis, and development, emphasizing the transition from natural lead molecules to optimized synthetic pharmaceuticals. The author categorizes drugs by their origin, therapeutic use, and chemical action, while also explaining the diverse routes of administration available to patients. A significant portion of the material examines pharmacodynamics, detailing the specific drug-receptor interactions and bonding forces—such as covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds—that trigger biological responses. Finally, it explores critical factors like solubility, partition coefficients, and dissociation constants, which determine how a medication is absorbed and distributed throughout the body.

Oraby's Illustrated Reviews of Biochemistry Part III

A comprehensive medical textbook authored by Said Oraby for students and postgraduates. This specific volume focuses on the metabolism of proteins and amino acids, outlining how dietary proteins are digested by enzymes in the stomach and pancreas before being absorbed in the small intestine. The material details the catabolic pathways of amino acids, such as transamination and deamination, and the subsequent conversion of toxic ammonia into urea for excretion. Additionally, the text explains the synthesis of non-essential amino acids and the production of specialized molecules like neurotransmitters, hormones, and pigments. Finally, the source covers various inborn errors of metabolism, including phenylketonuria and albinism, which result from specific enzymatic deficiencies.
