General principles of drug molecules from "summary" of Chemistry for Pharmacy Students by Lutfun Nahar,Professor Satyajit D. Sarker
Drug molecules are chemical compounds designed to interact with specific target molecules within the body to produce a desired effect. The general principles of drug molecules involve understanding the structure-activity relationships, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of these molecules to ensure their effectiveness and safety in treating various diseases and conditions. Structure-activity relationships refer to the relationship between the chemical structure of a drug molecule and its biological activity. By studying how different structural features of a drug molecule affect its interaction with the target molecule, researchers can optimize the design of new drugs to enhance their potency, selectivity, and safety profile. This knowledge is crucial for developing drugs with the desired therapeutic effects and minimal side effects. Pharmacokinetics is the stu...
