CHEM 4313 Medicinal Organic Chemistry Prerequisites: Minimum grade of “C” in CHEM 3153 and CHEM 3112. Description: This course looks at the development of new organic molecules for use in the pharmaceutical industry and investigates their pathway from the design stage to eventual introduction to the market. This course explores a range of important techniques necessary for the synthesis of complex organic architectures, an introduction to asymmetric synthesis, and polymer-supported synthesis of biomolecules including peptides and nucleic acids. This course also introduces various classes of drugs, mechanisms of action, drug metabolism and structure activity relationships.
