Practical Studies for Medicinal Chemistry
An integrating approach for developing countries
Antonio Monge and C. Robin Ganellin (eds.) IUPAC, 2006
The laboratory exercises presented below are representative of the field of Medicinal Chemistry, easy to reproduce and in many cases interdisciplinary. Some of them take natural products as the work material and none of them present any difficulties with regard to their realization or to safety consideration. The exercises have been provided by university researchers from 10 countries. All have been written in English and most are also in Spanish or Portuguese. The intention is to facilitate the participation in this initiative of as many researchers as possible. This Web site is open to all readers in general, teachers and students.
A total of 41 exercises distributed over 6 chapters are available for downloading in a pdf format. The exercises may be freely reproduced provided that the name of the contributing author and the IUPAC source are always quoted.
The collaborators in this edition of the Practical Studies are: Prof. R. Ganellin, Dr. J. Proudfoot, Dr. M. Chorghade, Prof. P. Erhardt, Dr. J. Fischer, and Prof. C. Wermuth
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to L. Stokes and E. Berjón for the translation and organization of the original documents. We are also grateful to Dr. F. Meyers and C. Wurzbacher for their effort in establishing the web version.
