    Study Notes

    Medicinal Chemistry

    • Medicinal chemistry deals with the discovery and design of new therapeutic chemicals and the development of these chemicals into new medicines and drugs.

    Primary Objective of Medicinal Chemistry

    • The primary objective of medicinal chemistry is to design and develop new therapeutic chemicals and develop them into new medicines and drugs.

    Drugs

    • Drugs are chemical substances used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent diseases.

    Pharmacodynamics in Drug Design

    • The purpose of pharmacodynamics in drug design is to understand how drugs interact with the body, and how the body responds to the drug.

    Exogenous Compounds

    • Exogenous compounds are substances that are synthesized outside the body and introduced into the body through ingestion, injection, or other means.
