| Main themes |
The main themes of this course are :
(i) Molecular formulas, molecular mass, doses, dilutions.
(ii) Structural formulas of drugs : organic functions, isomerism, stereoisomerism, acid-base properties, water solubility, partition coefficient.
(iii) Biopharmaceuticals : peptides and carbohydrates.
(iv) Basic chemical reactivity of drugs and prodrugs.

| Aims |
Application of the logic of general and organic chemistry to commercial drugs and pharmaceutical preparations.
|
| Content |
The activity is a tutoring aimed to familiarize the students with the molecular structures and the structure-properties relationships of the medicinal specialities of the belgian market. The developed themes are : the structure, chemical functions, isomery and stereoisomery of the specialities in question, their acid-base properties in relation with their solubilities and hydrophobicity (link between molecular structure and log P), a first contact with active peptides, peptidomimetics and glycoconjugates, worked examples of the reaction of key functions with water as a function of pH.
