Pre-requisites before taking this module (or general academic requirements): |
Completion of years 1 and 2 of an MChem or BSc (Hons) Chemistry programme or, for PGT students, a BSc (Hons) Chemistry programme. Liverpool UGT students should have completed CHEM231 and CHEM248. |
Aims |
|
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the fundamental principles that underpin modern medicinal chemistry of anti-infective drugs and will include qualitative and advanced quantitative SAR techniques, computer aided molecular design, further techniques in solid phase chemistry / combinatorial chemistry. The course will build on the principles taught in the introductory medicinal chemistry course Chem 248. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
By the end of the module students will have achieved a solid foundation of modern approaches to anti-infective drug design. In particular they should be able to show a clear understanding of:
