Presentation of approaches used for design of drug molecules.

Course Content

Historical backround of drug design and discovery. Drug-receptor interactions and bond types involved in these interactions. The role of water/lipid solubility in binding, distribution and metabolism of drugs. The importance of stereochemistry in drug action, conformationla flexibility, rigid analogs. The importance of structure-activity relationships for new drug design and the role of acidity-basicity in drug effect. Approaches used for the definition of lead compound. Design based on target macromolecules, endogenous molecules, analogue design, combinatorial chemistry. Pharmacophore definition, lead compound modification and optimization .Bioisosterism, classical and non-classical bioisosters .Prediction of lipophilicity, ionization and steric parameters. Pro-drug design, drug targeting and soft drug design. Drug design based on enzymes, enzyme inhibitors. Toxic effects due to the functional groups and their correction Examples of succesful applications for rational drug design.
