Molecular Targets & Drug Classes

This advanced study of the various classes of medicinal compounds emphasizes biological activity, mechanism of action, biotransformation and the structural and physical properties governing absorption, distribution and excretion. An overview of molecular targets is combined with the process for the discovery of those compounds that act on the targets. Included is an overview of molecular target validation techniques. Compounds of interest include classical organic small-molecules and also peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates and other bioactive chemical classes.
