Assistant Profesor Medicinal Chemistry Course

Organic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry will deal with topics important for understanding and appreciating the chemistry and properties of medical substances of heterocyclic and polycyclic structures. The course covers material related to properties, nomenclature and pharmaceutical importance the principle and theory of structure activity relationship are also covered with emphasis on optical, geometrical and conformational isomerism. In addition this course is designed to incorporate a number of experiments for the synthesis of certain drugs which are included in the theoretical course of organic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. The experiments are intended to train the undergraduate pharmacy students to use different chemical reactions and various analytical methods for preparation and assay of some representative drugs of different classes and also to meet the students need for a concise skill on practical organic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. Course Objectives The discipline of medicinal chemistry is devoted to the discovery and developmen
