Principles of Medicinal Chemistry

This volume is everything that one can ask for those wondering how drugs perform the functions that they do. The baseline for Foye's explanation lies in the description of the receptor involved. From there he can explain how the natural substrate fits either the active or allosteric site of the target molecule. From this point the authors are able to elucidate chemically how the functional groups of the pharmicological compound interact with the receptor evoking the desired response.
