Annotation -
The subject gives an overview throughout principal therapeutic groups. The given examples of drugs are described in the following scheme: discovery, development and the life cycle. The selected drugs from each therapeutic group are typical illustrative examples and they are presented as case studies. The emphasis is on logical connection of the knowledge of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and pharmacology.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

be informed on therapeutic groups,

identify pharmacophores in these groups and know principles of their phyrmacodynamics,

know chemical and pharmaceutical databases and do search in these databases focused on chemical and pharmacological data and on syntheses of drugs (both generic and the new ones being in phase III of clinical testing),

design an optimal synthetic approach to a generic substance on the basis of critical evaluation of pieces of information found in chemical and pharmaceutical literature.
