CHEM 07410 - Medicinal Chemistry

Credits: 3

A study of the biochemical principles and metabolic pathways with particular emphasis on pharmaceutical applications and biotechnology. This course will focus on the molecular mechanisms of drug action and chemical basis of drug therapy. Current methods used to study medicinal chemistry including recombinant DNA, combinatorial chemistry and bioinformatics will be reviewed. A 3-D molecular modeling of drug targets and drug design will be integrated throughout the course. Clinical trials of drug case study are included.
