Aims |
|
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the fundamental principles that underpin modern medicinal chemistry, including an introduction to targets for drug action, methods of administration, qualitative and quantitative SAR, computer aided molecular design, solid phase chemistry /combinatorial chemistry. The course also aims to describe in detail the chemical mechanisms of antitumour agents and will also include two lectures on carbohydrate chemistry. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
By the end of this module students are expected to have acquired an understanding of
and will be able to use these concepts and principles to solve simple problems in medicinal chemistry. |
