Organic Chemistry to Treat Diseases

Organic chemistry is the branch of physics which deals with the properties, structures, reactions, compositions and preparation of carbon containing compounds which not only includes hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, for instance oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, halogens, sulfur and silicon. Organic chemistry can be used to create new structures and develop better ways of synthesizing known as compounds. Organic chemistry is generally employed by pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, consumer products, and chemical and petroleum productions. Although, biotechnology is a field of applied biology that actually involves using living organisms and bioprocess to create or modify products for specific use. Virtually all biotechnology results are the product of organic chemistry [1]. Below are few from plenty of applications on how organic chemistry can be useful to treat various diseases.
