This subject contains the following additional online materials
Annotation -
The subject presents the particular periods of the drug discovery process from searching for active structures to clinical testing. Emphasis is placed on the mutual relationships between biological activity of drugs, their chemical structures and physico-chemical properties.
Last update: Zbytovská Jarmila (11.01.2018)
Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • understand issues of the structure-activity relationships of drugs
  • apply the basic QSAR principles
  • characterise drug's life inside the organism using enlarged knowledge in pharmacokinetics
  • understand issues of drug discovery
