Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the design, synthesis, and development of pharmaceutical drugs. This course introduces students to the chemical principles underlying drug action, the structure-activity relationship of medicinal compounds, and the processes involved in drug discovery and formulation.

Students will explore the classification of drugs, mechanisms of drug action, and the role of organic and inorganic chemistry in pharmaceutical applications. Real-world examples from pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemistry, and drug manufacturing will illustrate the relevance of chemical concepts in medicine. By the end of this course, learners will have a strong understanding of the chemical basis of drug design and development.
