CHEM 513 Elements of Medicinal Chemistry
This course will examine the basic theory of novel drug design based on interaction of chemicals with biological receptors. Drug targets will be studied as well as basic elements of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Case studies in drug design will be used to illustrate the structure-activity relationships and design aspects for various classes of drugs, such as antibacterial agents, anticancer agents, drugs acting on the central nervous system and opioid analgesics.
