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
