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.
