CHEM 414 Medicinal Organic Chemistry

The course introduces students to the drug discovery and development process with a focus on how organic chemistry is involved in that process. Students learn how drugs are developed and targeted towards different receptors/enzymes and how they interact with those receptors/enzymes. In addition, students learn about drug metabolism and time is spent focusing more closely on specific classes of drugs such as anticancer, antibacterial and antiviral agents.
