  • Anticancer Drugs.
  • Antihistamines and Local Anesthetics.
  • Antimicrobial Drugs An antibiotic is any substance produced by a microorganism that is excreted to harm or kill another microorganism.
  • Basic Aspects of Drug Activity.
  • Cardiovascular Drugs.

What is the scope of medicinal chemistry?

Medicinal Chemistry Research is a journal for the prompt disclosure of novel experimental achievements in the many facets of drug design, drug discovery, and the elucidation of mechanisms of action of biologically active compounds.

Is medicinal chemistry a biological science?

Medicinal and Biological Chemistry is concerned with understanding biological mechanisms and processes at the level of the atoms and molecules involved. In doing so, alongside the tools of synthetic chemistry and genetic manipulation, we can design and deliver pharmaceutical interventions.

What are the 3 names of drugs?

A marketed drug has three names: a chemical name, a generic name, and a brand name.

Why is it important to study medicinal chemistry?

Considering the importance of medicinal chemistry as a mandatory discipline to the pharmacist’s graduation and successful practice should provide specific knowledge beyond drug design and discovery skills and should be linked to clinical content that will distinguish the pharmacist from other health care professionals.

What is the difference between medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry?

Medicinal Chemistry is the science of design and chemical synthesis focusing mainly on small organic molecules and their development of pharmaceutical agents, or bio-active molecules (drugs). Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the same plus the science of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis to the synthesized agents.

What jobs can you do with medicinal chemistry?

Graduates find employment in many areas, from the pharmaceutical industry to business management. Typical careers of our graduates include assistant analyst, development chemist, research assistant, and site chemist.

What can you do with a biological and medicinal chemistry degree?

As a medicinal chemist you will be working with biologists and synthesizing new drug molecules to treat disease. You will need to have a good understanding of biology to design drugs that can interact with key biomolecules in our bodies.
