The subject presents the particular periods of the drug discovery process from searching for active structures to clinical testing. It describes the basic stages of a drug's life inside the organism (the LADME model) and relationships between its structure and activity (QSAR). The drug's physical-chemical properties and their parameterisation are also discussed.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ111 (30.08.2013)

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
