With addiction a key target for drug discovery efforts, this book
fills an important and timely need for medicinal chemists who need
to understand complex neuroscience issues. The author illustrates
medicinal chemistry's prominent role in treating addiction and
covers specific drugs of abuse including narcotics, stimulants,
depressants, nicotine, and marijuana.

* Interprets complex neuro- biological and
pharmacological information, like the drug-reward system, for
medicinal chemists

* Emphasizes neurotransmitters and neurochemical
mechanisms of addictive drugs

* Pulls together information on the many potential drug
targets for treating addiction

* Stresses unique medicinal chemistry problems when
describing pharmacology testing methods and drug development

Brian S. Fulton is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern University and has taught courses in organic chemistry, spectroscopy, and pharmaceutical sciences and has taught a one-semester course, Medicinal Chemistry of Psychiatric Drugs, at Harvard University Extension School. From 1987 - 2005, Dr. Fulton worked as an industrial organic chemist in the US and Europe. He obtained his B.S. in Chemistry at Missouri State University and his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at Iowa State University. He has written 17 peer-reviewed publications and given 8 presentations at scientific meetings.
