What is Medicinal Chemistry?

The field of medicinal chemistry can be used by humans to understand the molecular foundation of life. The discipline of Medicinal Chemistry explicates the relation of functions of molecules and structure. The combination of medicine and the chemical research methods are also included in the field of Medicinal Chemistry.
The Medicinal Chemistry has developed in recent years and will progress constantly pertaining to drug discoveries and its growth. In the past years, the scientists use to focus on separating the medicinal agents that are found in plants. However, in present days, the scientists are developing artificial drug compounds.
The long process of drug discovery and development includes mental, physical work and financial resources. The transfusion of a capable new compound into a drug and its launching in to the market which is a complex process has a costly expenditure that has reached $800million.
Bentham Science Publishers is a well established name in the industry of STM Publishing. They offer a wide range of journals on all recent topics of Medicinal Chemistry. This journal has an impact factor of 4.07. To read more about the medicinal chemistry drug development, please visit: http://www.benthamscience.com/cmc/.

The latest advances regarding medicinal chemistry are discussed in this journal from where the medicinal chemists can take information. It intends to contribute in the growth of scientific insights and facilitates the development and discovery of curative agents to treat human illnesses.

HIV AIDS- An Important Health Concern

HIV AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) - a persistent disorder, in which the white blood cells that are responsible for the prevention of diseases are attacked, therefore, it makes the human immune system weaker.  The (CD4+) T cells and the white blood cells, plays a vital role in fighting infections within the human body. When the virus hits the body and destroys these strong cells, the patient happens to be defenseless to severe infections and ailments.
HIV AIDS affects millions around the world and even more are at a threat of exposure to the virus. Each Year, on the 1st December, World AIDS day is celebrated for enlightening the public on HIV AIDS so that more lives could be saved.
There is no such treatment that can cure the patients from HIV AIDS till date but health practitioners are working hard to discover treatments for HIV AIDS. There is a common treatment, usually called as ART (Antiretroviral therapy) is found to be the best treatment for HIV affected patients. However, ART cannot deracinate the infection completely but still it is an accepted practice of doctors that helps lengthen the patient’s life and make improvements to his health.
Over the past years, scholars have comprehensively studied AIDS; their findings are published in various scientific and medical journals. A Popular publication Journal ‘Current HIV Research’ covers the latest advances in the clinical fields of HIV. The journal includes virus replication, viral pathogenesis, HIV assembly, drug discovery, virus-cell interaction, anti-retroviral therapy and etc. the Journal publishes various research articles and reviews on the present perceptive of the virus and its multifaceted interaction with the host.
