Course objectives

Objectives of the course:
The course develops and deepens knowledge of pharmaceutical chemistry in combination with other pharmaceutical and biological branches of knowledge in terms of drug research and development strategy. The key objective is structure proposal and further optimizations so that a new potential drug met basic bioavailability requirements, i.e. absorption, distribution, and binding to receptors.

Content:
The course covers knowledge at the interface between pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical technology. Approaches generally used at drug structure development, including QSAR, combinatorial chemistry, molecular modeling, and fragment approach are discussed. Structural factors affecting biological effect, factors affecting drug absorption and transport to the place of action, and drug binding to receptors are considered. Polymorphism, the influence of particle size, and other physico-chemical methods of drug molecule modification are regarded. The review of actual administrative regulations in the sphere of drug development is provided.

Learning outcomes

After passing the subject, the student will have to know, present, explain or draw:
-meaning of physicochemical properties for drug development, including a simple calculation of a basic lipophilic parameter (log P ...)
-combinatorial chemistry, fragment method, and QSAR as drug development tools
-meaning of metabolism and efflux pumps for drug development
-usage of formula editors, fundamentals of structure encoding, searching for compound properties and information about them by the usage of structure codes
-principles of interactions of small molecules with target structures
specifics of veterinary drugs development
-fundamentals of privileged structures theory and chemogenomics
