who make those drugs
Scientist and Chemist
MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
An interdisciplinary science
- Organic Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Computational Chemistry
- Pharmacology
- Pharmacognosy
- Molecular biology
- Physical Chemistry
The primary objective of medicinal chemistry is the design and discovery of new compounds that are suitable for use as drugs.
MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
Branch of chemistry involved in identification, design, synthesis, and development of biologically active compounds.
MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
Goal: Design a drug that will interact as powerfully and selectively as possible for the target
Pharmacodynamics
are low MW chemical substances that interact with macromolecular targets in the body to produce effect
DRUGS
SAR
Structure activity relationship
to define the relationship between the chemical compound and the pharmacological activity mechanism of action in site in the body
Structure Activity Relationship
Foreign substances = stranger = called ———-
XENOBIOTICS
Goal: Design the drug so that it is capable of reaching that target
Pharmacokinetics
When the conventional dosage forms are administered orally or topically, the active drug in the dosage form is immediately released and absorbed into the systemic circulation.
Liberation
higher concentration to lower concentration for your drug to diffuse in to your system
Diffusion
unbound drug is passively filtered by the glomerulus.
Glomerular Filtration
majority of the drug is actively secreted
Tubular Secretion
NONIONIZED OR UNIONIZED = drug is passively reabsorbed back into the blood.
Tubular Reabsorption
Excretion into the urine is a major route of elimination for metabolites and unchanged drug.
DRUG EXCRETION
- Drug reenters the intestinal tract from the liver through bile duct
- Biliary recycling
ENTEROHEPATIC CIRCULATION
- Decreased metabolism
ENZYME INHIBITION
- Increased metabolism
ENZYME INDUCTION
