Document Summary
Deals with the study of carbon containing compounds and their reactions. Among the cyclic structures, the arrangement of carbon atoms in 5- or 6-membered rings is quite common. The hexagonal (6-membered) ring with three single and three double bonds is called a benzene (c6h6) ring. Organic compounds are divided into some important families based on their characteristic functional group. A functional group can be visualized as a small structural unit or arrangement of atoms in a molecule that is the chemically functioning part of the molecule. In the case of drugs, the functional group(s) are responsible for their action. Functional groups may determine important parameters such as the rate of uptake and reaction as well as the time of residence of the drug in the body: alcohol, aldehyde, amine, carboxylic acid, ester, ether, ketone. From the sumerians (2200 bc) to the present, the discovery and usage of drugs has gone through a number of phases such as:
