Medical chemistry.

-

"Chemistry is the science of molecules and their transformations.it is the science not so much of the 100 elements but of infinite variety of molecules that may be built from them".





medical chemistry is the highly interdisciplinary subject with lots of inputs from organic chemistry, biochemistry,pharmacology, and other fields.

Medicines  are used to treat diseases.

What is drug ( medicine) ?

Drugs  are the molecules used as medicines are as components of medicine to treat organised cure migraine treat or prevent diseases.

Medical chemistry includes :
1.isolation of compounds from nature : penicillium
2.investigation of structure - activity relationship.
3. Metabolic transformation of these compounds.
4. Absorption, distribution & transport  properties.

How does one discover a drug ?
1. By going into history.i.e. traditional medicine.
2. Discovery by accident.
3. These are practices come from one generation to the other.

 After discovery how they come into market ?
1. By doing experiment on animal modals.
2. Clinical trials.
3. Number of study in healthy / sick people.

This is the part-1. In second part we will discuss about some interesting facts about penicillium &many others

Hydrogen.

Hydrogen,most abundant element in the universe and the third most abundant on the surface of the globe,is being visualised as the major future source of ENERGY. Position of hydrogen in the periodic table: Hydrogen is  first element in the periodic table. It has electronic configuration 1S1. its electronic configuration is similar to the outer electron electronic configuration of alkali metals (ns1). Hydrogen forms oxide , halides  and sulphides It has very high ionization enthalpy. Mostly hydrogen exist as a dihydrogen in the universe . Dihydrogen H2: dihydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (70% the total mass of the universe) . Isotopes of Hydrogen : Hydrogen has three isotopes :  1.protium 1H1 in this neutron is absent.  2. Deuterium, 2H1 or D 3. Tritium, 3H1.  0r T . These isotopes different form oneanother in respect of their presence of neutrons. Out of these Tritium shows radioactivity. Which emits low energy beta particles . Nat

Acids

Acid : It is a substance (compound ) which Gives H+ ions in the solution. We can classify acid in following categories. 1) organic acids 2) inorganic acids. 3)strong acid 4) weak acid 1) organic acids : These are carbon containing acids . e.g carboxylic acid ( - COOH), citric acid (C6H8O7)  , latic acid (C3H6O6), Oxalic acid (C2H2O4). 2) Inorganic acid : The acids which does not contain carbon. e.g.  H2SO4( sulphuric acid) , NH3 ( Nitric acid ), HCl etc. 3) strong acid : The acid which completely dissociates in solution is called strong acid. e.g.HCL , H2SO4, HNO3. 4)weak acid : The acid which does not completely dissolved ( dissociates) In solutions are called weak acid. e.g. acetic acid ( CH3COOH ), latic acid ( C3H6O6), citric acid ( C6H8O7).. I think these are the basic things which we should know about acids. You can buy this book. By using below link. General knowledge book -2021 https://amzn.to/2PDvug1
