Course objectives

A specific drug molecule is in the spotlight of this discipline. The advanced course proceeds the general Medicinal Chemistry and develops it towards research and development of medicines on molecular level. The discipline sums up different approaches and protocols either typical only for Medicinal Chemistry (priviledged structures´ concept, drug likeness, pharmacogenomics, fragment method, molecular docking etc.) or adapted from other more general disciplines (QSAR including physico-chemical descriptors used there, combinatorial chemistry). The discipline touches also methods of the acitity assessment of biologicaly active compounds in vitro, some pharmacokinetic systems (efflux pumps) and specifity of development of veterinary drugs. The development in some model therapeutic groups is here described in more detail (strong analgesics as an example of small moleculs, haematopoietic factors as an example of biologic therapeutics).
