Medicinal Chemistry I

Medicinal Chemistry I is a core subject that explores the design, synthesis, and biological activity of drugs. It bridges organic chemistry and pharmacology to enhance understanding of therapeutic agents.

Key Highlights:

  • Studies drug classification, including antibiotics, sulfonamides, and chemotherapeutic agents.
  • Focuses on Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) to relate chemical structure with drug action.
  • Explains mechanisms of action for various therapeutic compounds.
  • Covers drug synthesis and metabolic pathways.
  • Emphasizes physicochemical properties influencing drug absorption and efficacy.
  • Introduces principles of drug design and development.
  • Enhances skills needed for pharmaceutical research and formulation.
  • Builds a foundation for rational drug use and clinical application
