Medicinal Chem

QuestionAnswer
Medicinal chemistry Discovering and developing new drugs
Pharmaceutical chemistry Formulation of the drug, preparation, and manufacture of drugs
4 stages in Medicinal chemistry 1. Drug discovering 2. Preclinical development (large scale synthesis) 3. Clinical Trials 4. FDA review
Phase 1 of clinical trials Healthy volunteers
Phase 2 of clinical trials -Looking for efficacy and what dose -Disease state
Phase 3 of clinical trials Widespread populations to prove efficacy
NDA New drug application
IND Investigational new drug application
Patent life 20 years from date of filling
Process it takes to find a drug 10-17 years
How many molecules to get 10 molecules in clinical drugs 10,000 molecules
Average cost of pharmaceutical drug ~2.6 billion
Average cost of Biologic drug ~1.2 billion
Process it takes to develop biologic ~12 years
Biologics License Application Needed for biologic meds
Screen Assay that measures the activity agent or drug
Hit desired activity in the screen (<10 millimolars)
Hit series Group of structurally related compounds that have the desired activity
Lead Molecule that has therapeutically useful activity (usually nanomolars)
Clinical Candidate molecule expected to be useful for treating human disease
Series of medicinal chemistry target, assay, screening, hit, hit series, lead, clinical candidate
target enzyme, receptor, or other molecule structure that drug interacts with
Different ways to target identify -Phenotypic -Genotypic
High throughput screening -Testing large numbers of compounds for activity in a particular biological target in a short amount of time -Goals to find hits (usually <10 nanomolars)
Read-out result of assay
Rational drug design Involves computer (in silico) modeling
Medicinal chemistry modifying chemical structure of a hit through synthesis, adding different function groups or changing stereochemistry
2 different categories of Rational drug design -Structure-based drug design -Ligand-based drug design
Structure-based drug design Take crystal structure of either a target protein or a known ligand bound to a target protein from x-ray crystallography
Ligand-base drug design Use a molecule that binds to the target and change the composition of the molecule to find optimal binding and in vivo characteristics
On-target effects -effects caused by binding the intended target protein -both beneficial and adverse
off-target effects -effects caused by binding to a different target or targets than intended -can be both beneficial and adverse
Configuration based notation with racemic mix -Rac- or RS- -R- or S- (found in brand name) -Ar- or Es- (found in generic)
Optical rotation-based notation -Dextro or Levo- -Dex or Lev- -+ or - (found in chemical name)
Configuration based by analogy to glyceraldehyde -D- or L- (found in chemical name-- not as common)
Importance of Stereochemistry -Efficacy or potency -PK properties -toxic effects -cost -increase patent coverage
Geometric isomers Restricted rotation around a bond that produces stereoisomers
Bioisosteres different functional group, roughly the same shape, produces the same effect

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
