Abstract
This paper describes the development of a lecture and workshop course for teaching computer applications in pharmaceutical chemistry to upper-level undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry students. The course is aimed at introducing the principles of pharmaceutical chemistry in drug discovery and design with an emphasis on the use of computers to solve pharmaceutical chemistry problems. The lectures deal with pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, receptor biochemistry, structure–activity relationships, pharmacophore analysis, pharmacoinformatics, and computer-aided drug design. The corresponding workshops use mainly Web sites and freeware programs to solve related problems. The implementation of these lecture topics and workshop modules is also described.
Supplement
Background reading and reference materials for each of the chapters and modules, as well as URLs of selected Web resources, are available.
