This book has been written according to revised syllabus, as per credit based semester and grading system, for Applied Component Paper on Drugs and Dyes prescribed for T.Y.B.Sc. classes by University of Mumbai, effective from academic year 2018-19.

In the section on drugs, important pharmacological terms are defined first. The classification of drugs on the basis of chemical structure and biological activity has been given. The aspects of drug discovery, design development, will be interesting to students. The mode of action and drug metabolism as well as routes of drug administration and dosage forms are explained. The individual classes of drugs have been explained in detail with examples. The synthesis of drug intermediates is included. The topics like sustained release formulations and use of nanoparticles in medicinal chemistry will expose the students to the current research in the field. An idea of different pharmacopoeia is also given.

In the section on dyes, nomenclature and definition of related terms are given in the beginning. This is followed by chemical classification of dyes with examples. The concept of colour and its relationship to chemical structure has been explained clearly. The types of fibers, the dye fibre forces and methods of application of dyes are included. The importance of unit processes, intermediates and their conversion into dye stuffs has been dealt in later chapters. The students are made aware of the current concern about the toxicity of dyes, its effect on environment and remediation methods of physical, chemical and biochemical nature to overcome this problem.

The book will be useful to students to prepare them for applied component papers in T.Y.B.Sc. examinations. Any suggestions for the improvement of the book from teachers and students will be appreciated.
