B Pharm Medicinal Chemistry 3 Pdf Notes

Updated: Feb 2


Buckle up, B-Pharmers, because B Pharm Medicinal Chemistry 3 Pdf Notes is about to take your brain on a wild ride through the molecular jungle of antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals! Think of it as a microscopic Game of Thrones, where bacteria, fungi, and viruses battle for dominance, and you, the fearless pharmacist-to-be, wield the power of potent chemicals to restore order. We'll be crafting wonder weapons like penicillin and cephalosporins to dethrone the bacterial kings, concocting antifungal elixirs like griseofulvin to topple the fungal tyrants, and unleashing antiviral armies like acyclovir to vanquish the viral invaders. Along the way, we'll decipher the cryptic codes of molecular structures, understand the intricate dance of side effects and efficacy, and learn to wield these chemical weapons with the precision of a sharpshooter.

The subject also emphasizes on the chemistry, mechanism of action, metabolism, adverse effects, Structure Activity Relationships (SAR), therapeutic uses and synthesis of important drugs.


Objectives: Upon completion of the subject student shall be able to:

  • Understand the importance of drug design and different techniques of drug design.

  • Understand the chemistry of drugs with respect to their biological activity.

  • Know the metabolism, adverse effects and therapeutic value of drugs.

  • Know the importance of SAR of drugs.
