Full Description
This examination focuses on the chemical properties that determine the biological activity of drugs. Candidates will study structure-activity relationships (SAR) to understand how molecular structure influences drug efficacy and safety.
Knowledge of SAR is critical for drug design and modification, allowing researchers to develop more effective and targeted therapeutic agents while minimizing adverse effects.
During the exam, candidates will articulate the principles of SAR and how variations in chemical structure can lead to significant changes in drug action and interaction.
Additional discussions may involve computational modeling approaches in drug design, reinforcing the connection between chemical structure and biological function.
