Medicinal chemistry is discipline at the branch of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology
and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design,
chemical and development for market of pharmaceutical agents, or bio-active
molecules (drugs). They are some specific drugs called antipsychotic drugs andantidepressants which are used to deal with the patients who have this kind of
disorders.
For
the medicines I mentioned above are made as compounds. Usually the elements are carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen. Maybe all of the drug compound are composed as same elements,
but the different structure they have may cause them have different functions and
usage. Besides, this kind of compound are commonly called organic compounds. They
often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules (atorvastatin, fluticasone, clopidogrel)
and "biologics". The latter of which are most often medicinal
preparations of proteins (natural and recombinant antibodies, hormones).
Inorganic
and organ metallic compounds are also useful as drugs Since of this, learning
basic knowledge and analyze the structure of them become significant. In particular,
medicinal chemistry in its most common guise—focusing on small organic
molecules—encompasses synthetic organic chemistry and aspects of natural
products and computational chemistry in close combination with chemical biology.
In a word, it involves chemical aspects of identification, and then systematic,
thorough synthetic alteration of new chemical entities to make them suitable
for therapeutic use.
So,make a specific Medicine using chemistry become a hard and specific
work, unless people are familiar with chemistry, they can not figure out
anything about it. The study includes synthetic and computational aspects of
the study of existing drugs and agents in development in relation to their bioactivities,
understanding their structure-activity relationships (SAR).
