This book contains discussions on “Pharmaceutical Chemistry: Principles and Applications.” This book was compiled with various efforts to contribute academically to the development of pharmaceutical chemistry, particularly as open material, a reference, and supporting literature for students, lecturers, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of pharmacy and health.

Pharmaceutical chemistry is a highly strategic branch of science in the development of science, technology, and public health. Pharmaceutical chemistry focuses not only on theoretical aspects of the structure, properties, and reaction mechanisms of chemical compounds, but also emphasizes their application in the pharmaceutical field, which is directly related to the discovery, development, production, and use of medicines. The role of pharmaceutical chemistry is increasingly important in the modern era due to the everevolving complexity of diseases, increasing microbial resistance, and the human need for more effective, safe, and affordable medicines.
