This is a continuation of MEDC 810. The course discusses the fundamental principles of medicinal chemistry including the effect of chemical structure on drug action (structure-activity relationships, stereochemistry, and mechanism of drug action at the molecular level); the effect of physicochemical properties on drug stability, absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and selection of route of drug administration; and approaches to drug synthesis. Representative molecular entities from various drug classes will be discussed.
