The field of pharmacy known as "pharmaceutical chemistry" examines the chemical components of medications. Drug & pharmaceutical analysis (detection) and synthesis (manufacturing) are crucial processes. Medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, & toxicology are all subfields of pharmaceutical chemistry. Pharmaceutical chemistry is the study of a design, chemical synthesis, and commercialization of the pharmaceutical agents, or the bio-active molecules (drugs), and it lies at the crossroads of chemistry (particularly synthetic organic chemistry), pharmacology, and the other biological specialties. Chemical identification is the first step, followed by the methodical, comprehensive synthetic modification of novel chemical entities to render them acceptable for therapeutic application. Focusing on the analysis and evaluation of medical goods in accordance with quality control standards, the pharmaceutical chemistry seeks to guarantee their suitability for use. The fields of pharmacokinetics (the study of how a medication is metabolized in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the study of how a drug works in the body) were completely transformed by the advent of the molecular biology. As a result of developments in the analytical evaluation of the new molecules, technological advances in computers, and also their applications in the molecular modeling approaches, the pharmaceutical chemistry is now capable of covering a...
