Useful, but missing important info

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2009

Verified Purchase

Although covering a large number of compounds and more importantly indicating reference sources for the mixture of names for the same compounds, missing is any reference to pharmacological uses. Based on his previous books, I was expecting some indication of known psychopharmacological effects for at least some of these compounds. Certainly the authors would have come across some in putting this book together. Also, I disagree that the Chem Abstracts number (CAS #) is useless, especially with compounds that have multiple common names. Simply including the CAS where known would not have taken up much space and then could be used to search for more applicable literature.

Excellent Subject Matter Professionally Presented

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book is a very fast-paced and fascinating read. You don't have to be a chemist to appreciate it. If you want to know more about the subject and how medicines are developed, read this book. It's a good book, I couldn't put it down. If you are wavering about buying it, Buy It.

Only for a chemist

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2005

This is a book only for a chemist. It has nothing except the chemical makeups.

For research

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2006

As a chemist I found this book to be an exceptionally valuable resource for new compounds of

interest in psychopharmacology. If only there were more of these encyclopedic references for the other

members of the aromatic amine family.

A chemestry reference book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 29, 2007

Verified Purchase

This book is not like PIHKAL or TIHKAL in that it is not contain a biography nor describes the psychoactive effects of the various chemicals described within. Its not the sort of book you can just pick up and read.

Its essentially an index / lookup book for professional biologists/chemists, listing a large number of Isoquinolines, their chemical names and structure, which plant species they are found in, occasionally a paragraph or two of text about the chemical and list of references to scientific papers that refer to it.

There is a introductory chapter describing the various possible layouts of Isoquinolines, but again this is written to the audience of a professional chemist.

I suspect that this book will form the groundwork/index for Shulgin's third book, QIHKAL, which should be fascinating, but this book is not it.
