PHA502: Pharmaceutical Chemistry II

Extend your knowledge of drug chemistry by applying the principles to key examples of drugs acting on receptors, enzymes and nucleic acids. The unit deals with drug discovery and design; we investigate modern methods for receptor-directed drug design and combinatorial chemistry and modifications to increase bioactivity. The role of natural products as lead compounds (pharmacognosy) will be a major theme running through the unit, and students will investigate the active principles of common natural products and herbal remedies.
