The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of chemistry, biology and pharmacology. It focuses on the design , synthesis and development of compounds that can be used as therapeutic agents.
Department objectives:
Lab Facilities:
Pharmaceutical chemistry lab is fully equipped with instruments to perform inorganic chemistry and organic and natural chemistry practicals. In our lab, students are able to carry out innovative researches in the area of identification and isolation of new drug molecules from natural sources, synthesis of lead molecules from natural sources, synthesis of lead molecules which can be a future drug molecule.
Our labs are fully equipped with instruments and glassware to carry out organic, inorganic, synthetic, and natural chemistry practicals like TLC applicators, Rotary Evaporator, Soxhlet apparatus, Columns etc.
Key Areas in Pharmaceutical Chemistry:
1.Drug Design and Discovery: Involves the conceptualization and creation of new drug molecules. Chemists utilize computational methods and structure-activity relationships to design compounds targeting specific biological sites.
2.Synthesis and Medicinal Chemistry: Focuses on the chemical synthesis of new compounds and the optimization of existing ones to enhance therapeutic efficacy and safety
3.Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry: Entails developing methods to analyze drugs and their metabolites, ensuring purity, potency, and safety of pharmaceutical products
4.Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism: Studies how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body, which is crucial for predicting drug interactions and optimizing dosages
