A scientific discipline at the intersection of chemistry and pharmacy
involves designing, synthesizing, and developing pharmaceutical
drugs.
Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry
involves the identification, synthesis, and
development of new chemical entities suitable for therapeutic
use.
Medicinal chemistry
focused on quality aspects of
medicines and aims to assure fitness for medicinal products.
Pharmaceutical chemistry
(QSAR)
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships
Is a strategy of essential importance for chemistry and pharmacy, based on the idea that
when we change the structure of a molecule then the activity or property of the substance
will be modified.
