Abstract : The National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) is regarded as a dynamic and significant document in the healthcare delivery system of a country. It includes a listing of those medicines which are considered very crucial so as to be made available to all people of a nation irrespective of socio-economic status. In our country, such a compilation has resulted from the collaborative efforts of direct caregivers, administrators, policy makers, academicians and all other players within the healthcare setup. Viewing this document within the academic setting, our focus has revolved around improving its worth as a reliable source of information. The present work represents an empirical medicinal chemistry study investigating key pharmaceutical properties of specific molecules within this list. © Copyright 2013 by Indian Drugs Online.
