This book in the series on pharmacology has been designed as an introductory manual which looks into the chemistry of artificial or lab-designed drugs. Right from a general introduction the book proceeds onto the techniques, principles and practices which enable one composition, bioactivity pharmaco-dynamics and pharmacokinetics. In addition, it also takes a look at the current discoveries and advances in the field, enabling a relevant understanding of the subject. Further, the illustrations and diagrams in the book convey visual information, which moves beyond the descriptive capacity of words. Also, the legal and ethical implications of synthetic drug use have been included, fostering an in-depth knowledge of the subject. The book's erudition and insight serve well for the readers.
