Learning outcomes |
This Medicinal Chemistry II Curricular Unit aims to provide current knowledge about the most commonly used drug families in clinical practice, particularly relating the chemical aspects with the pharmacology.
At the end of this Curricular Unit, the student should be able to describe the chemical structures, discovery and development, main preparation methods, molecular mechanisms of pharmacological action, structure-activity relationship, pharmacokinetic aspects, basic therapeutic applications and limitations of the most used drug families in clinical practice. The student should also know the latest developments in the obtention of new bioactive molecules and new groups of drugs.
