Description

The chemical, biochemical, and pharmacological characteristics of pharmaceuticals are all covered under the field of chemistry known as pharmaceutical chemistry. It entails chemical synthesis and isolation, identification, structural elucidation, structural modification, structure activity relationship (SAR) research, analysis of the chemical properties, biochemical modifications following drug administration, and their pharmacological effects. All elements and their compounds, with the exception of carbon and its compounds (which are studied under organic chemistry), are studied under inorganic chemistry. Except for the category of organic molecules, inorganic chemistry addresses the properties of things like nonliving materials and minerals that are found in the earth. Coordination chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, organometallic compounds, and synthetic inorganic chemistry are all subfields of inorganic chemistry. We can say that organic chemistry is the study of molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen, while inorganic chemistry is the study of substances or molecules devoid of carbon atoms. Instead of using the conventional chemical classification, the subject matter in this book has been reorganised to incorporate application-based classification (therapeutic, pharmaceutical, etc.).
