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.
