Semester -4Medicinal Pharmaceutical chemistry -I (BP402T)Unit-1Lecture-1Introduction to Medicinal Chemistry
The chemist attempt to design and Synthesized a medicine or pharmaceutical agent which will benefit humanity. Such a compound known as Drug
It involves:
Synthesis
Structure activity relationship (SAR)
Receptor interactions- Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
According to IUPAC:
Medicinal chemistry it concern discovery, development, Identification , Interpretation Of mode of action of biological active compounds at the molecular level
Medicinal chemistry covers three stages
Discovery step-
Involving choice of therapeutic Target (receptor, enzyme and target group, cellular invivo model).Identification or discovery. Production of new active substances interacting with selected target. Such compounds called Lead compound
2. An optimization step-
Which deals with improvement of lead compound.The optimization process takes primarily into account the increase in potency, selectivity and toxicity.
Development stage-
