Informations du cours

Pharmaceutical chemistry is a fundamental discipline that links chemistry, biology and pharmacology in order to design, synthesize and study therapeutically active substances.

It aims to understand the relationships between the chemical structure of molecules and their biological activities (structure-activity relationship, SAR) for the rational development of new drugs.

During the 3rd year of industrial pharmacy, teaching emphasizes on:

-The chemical and therapeutic classification of drugs.

-The study of major groups of active ingredients (anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories, analgesics, antihypertensives, etc.).

-The mechanisms of action at the molecular level.

-Drug synthesis pathways and their structural modifications to improve efficacy or reduce toxicity.

-Methods for chemical analysis and quality control of pharmaceutical substances.

-The introduction to the concepts of rational drug design and modern medicinal chemistry.
