Responsible person and department:
Dr. Béla Mátravölgyi, professor, Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology
Lecturer:
Dr. Ferenc Faigl professor Organic Chemistry and Technology,
Dr. Ervin Kovács researcher MTA-BME Research Group for Org. Chem. Technology
Subject is based on:
Basic knowledge in physical chemistry, organic chemistry and biology educated int he high schools and in the first two semesters of the BSc chemical engineering branch.
Aim of the subject:
The subject gives a breaf introduction to the medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. The fundamental pharmacological definitions and ideas as well as a historical outline of drug discovery and design are presented. Selected examples of drug action at some common target areas demonstrate the importance of the special receptor-drug interactions and the improtance of chemical modifications of the leading molecules to produce highly selective medicines. Typical examples are also discussed for drug metabolism including several organic chemicals and solvents which are important for the organic chemists.
