This course is the study of medicinally active substances, both natural and synthetic, which describes their chemical properties, their mode of action, their structure-activity relationships and their metabolic rate. Starting with their origin, it is shown how drugs in a series are developed by chemical modification, quantitative structure activity relationships and receptor theory. The chemical properties of a drug are described and explained. The mode of action of the drug is explained on a biochemical basis whenever possible. Once a drug has had its medicinal effect, it is excreted or metabolized. Reasons for excretion or metabolism are explained. Three hours lecture per week. Prerequisite: CHEM 322R. Corequisite LS-BIOC 365G. Offered: Fall.
