Browse Hierarchy CHE306P: Advanced Pharmaceutical Chemistry

This module focusses on the principles of drug design, drug discovery and the relationship between the molecular structure of drugs and their biological activity. Topics covered include how candidate drug structures are selected for synthesis and structure activity relationships. The module will also explore physico-chemical properties of compounds and how these may be employed to assist in the selection of drug candidates and organic synthetic methods that are of particular relevance to the preparation of drug-like molecules.
