MEDICINE IN ITS CHEMICAL ASPECTS

Reports from the Medico-Chemical Research Laboratories of the I. G. Farbenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft.

Medicine and chemistry are closely linked, with medicinal chemistry, as an interdisciplinary field, bridging the gap: it focuses on the discovery, development, and synthesis of drugs by using chemical knowledge to understand the complex processes in the human body and to design active ingredients in a targeted manner, which creates foundations for pharmacology, biochemistry, and the understanding of metabolic processes and is essential for modern drug development.
