Medicinal Chemistry-Diuretics: A Guidance to Pharmacy Students

Medicinal Chemistry: Diuretics offers a clear and comprehensive exploration of one of the most essential drug classes used in modern therapeutics. Designed for pharmacy, medical, and life-science students, this book connects fundamental chemistry with real-world clinical applications. It explains the structural features, classification, and mechanisms of action of major diuretic groups, including carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, thiazides, loop diuretics, osmotic agents, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each chapter highlights structure-activity relationships (SAR), metabolism, therapeutic uses, dosage considerations, and adverse effects to support deeper understanding and examination success.

With simplified diagrams, molecular interpretations, and clinical insights, the book enables learners to grasp how small chemical modifications can significantly impact drug efficacy and safety. Whether preparing for exams or strengthening medicinal chemistry fundamentals, this book serves as a reliable guide to mastering diuretics in pharmacotherapy.
