Pharmaceutical chemistry

[StasN]

Hello everybody,

 

I am a student of Chemistry Faculty of Ireland Pharmaceutical University and

I am seeking information of based chemical components used in pharmaceutical industry. For now I found the following resource pharmacy only. But it seems to have a bit information to me.

 

Please let me know official web resources which describe pharmaceutical chemistry.

 

Thank you.

uhh, there are literally millions of chemicals used. idoubt there is any one website that lists them all.

 

it seems you attend a fictional university as well, just to let you know. which is probably why you haven't looked in the university libraray for this information.

Thank you.

I will go to our library. May be I am not a good student

[insane_alien]

Maybe he/she wants to make some imaginary drugs.

[insane_alien]

Is this the weird university that only lets people in if their names start and end with a capital letter?

Also, are imaginary drugs placebos?

Absolutely not! They are not the same thing at all.

 

Placebos often illicit real responces in real people, while imaginary drugs only illicit imaginary responces in imaginary people.

 

I know this because my imaginary friend, who just so happens to be an imaginary medical doctor, told me.

Thank you all,

 

I found another resource ( Medic Info ). It has more information that I need.

I realise that placebos are real (in a sense) I just wondered about the other way round. Could an entirely imaginary drug work; my guess it that it would, by the placebo effect.

While the placebo effect is a valid and empirically verified phenomenon, it does not apply in all contexts. Depression or pain, sure. However, more significant health issues, no. Case in point, AIDS. Imaginary drugs in cases like these have no impact on the overall course of the disease, and there are serious ethical implications to not treating someone with actual medicines... or worse, treating them with imaginary ones.
