The only comprehensive standard work for medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, forensic scientists, legislators, historians, pharmacists, physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, and for all who wish to study this fascinating subject.
They stimulate, communicate, inhibit appetite, or profoundly alter perception as psychedelics - phenetylamines are real all-rounders. Their widespread use as endogenous substances, in marine sponges or in desert cactus testifies to the evolutionary success story of these universal building blocks, whose basic chemical structure scientists have been modifying for over a hundred years.
"Phenetylamines - from Structure to Function" provides a detailed treatment of the pharmacological profiles of class representatives and a detailed presentation of structure-activity relationships of the various substance classes, incorporating new comparisons of scientific data. The work provides an overview, clarifies chemical relationships, shows pharmacological correlations of the more than 2000 compounds, and discusses medicinal chemistry concepts and pharmacological methods. Numerous illustrations of old drug advertisements illustrate the social relevance of phenetylamines, and historical aspects are explained in a total of nine excursuses on topics such as natural products, monoamine transporters, and antidepressants. The book contains not only sound knowledge on well-known substances such as Ritalin, MDMA (Ecstasy) or amphetamine, but also detailed information on little-known compounds and much inspiration for the medicinal chemist.
