, WHAT IS MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY ?
Medicinal Chemistry is a scientific discipline at the intersection of
chemistry and pharmacy involved with designing and developing
pharmaceutical drugs. Medicinal chemistry involves the
identification, synthesis and development of new chemical
entities suitable for therapeutic use. It also includes the study of
existing drugs, their biological properties, and their quantitative
structure-activity relationships (QSAR).
Medicinal chemistry is a highly interdisciplinary science
combining organic chemistry with biochemistry, computational
chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, statistics, and
physical chemistry.
