История и фармакология десяти замечательных препаратов

The History and Pharmacology of Ten Remarkable Drugs explores ten medicines that changed the course of modern medicine: methadone, penicillin, lovastatin, artemisinin, semaglutide, diphenhydramine, fluoxetine, methylphenidate, AZT, and amlodipine. The selection covers antibiotics, antivirals, statins, opioids, antidepressants, and newer metabolic treatments. The book features a foreword by Professor Paul May, founder and curator of the University of Bristol’s Molecule of the Month series. Written for scientifically curious readers, the book sits between a formal textbook and a popular science introduction: more detailed than the latter, but more approachable than the former. Each chapter examines a different drug through its discovery, chemical structure, mechanism of action, synthesis, clinical use, and wider historical importance.
