Medicinal Chemistry

Renmin University of China via XuetangX

Overview

Medicinal chemistry is concerned with the discovery, development and confirmation of drugs and the study of the way drugs work at the molecular level. Medicinal chemistry is based on chemistry and biology, involving medical science and pharmacy and other disciplines. It is a comprehensive discipline related to the discovery and invention of new drugs, the synthesis of chemical drugs, the clarification of the nature of chemical drugs, the chemical changes in the process of drugs in vivo, and the study of the law of interaction between drug molecules and biological macromolecules. It is an important leading discipline in the field of pharmacy.
