With addiction a key target for drug discovery efforts, this book illustrates medicinal chemistry's prominent role in treating addiction and covers specific drugs of abuse including narcotics, stimulants, depressants, nicotine, and marijuana. This book presents the neurochemical and -biological information on drug addiction in a format for medicinal chemists. Divided into two broad sections, the book first deals with general aspects of addiction, neuropharmacology, behavioural pharmacology, and drug development; and then delves more deeply into medication development.
With addiction a key target for drug discovery efforts, this book fills an important and timely need for medicinal chemists who need to understand complex neuroscience issues. The author illustrates medicinal chemistry s prominent role in treating addiction and covers specific drugs of abuse including narcotics, stimulants, depressants, nicotine, and marijuana.
