Pharmaceutical Chemistry

The subject of Pharmaceutical Chemistry plays a major role in shaping a student into a true pharmacy professional. Though the profession has undergone tremendous changes and has registered great advancements in various branches of it, the importance of pharmaceutical chemistry in the curriculum of a pharmacy programme cannot be overemphasized. Every branch becomes invigorated when a new bioactive molecule is discovered. The diversity offered by the subject is amazing. Pharmaceutical chemistry is discipline which is at the intersection of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialities, where they are involved with design, chemical synthesis and development for market of pharmaceutical agents, or bio-active molecules (drugs).
