Course Description: A comprehensive one day course on the physical and chemical properties required for an orally active drug including an in depth discussion of the appropriate use of a variety of filters (e.g. the rule of five) as well as the chemistry structural features likely to be found in a successful drug. The course is designed for the discovery stage competent synthetic chemist who is a novice practitioner in medicinal chemistry and also as a refresher course for veterans of the field. The lecture will end with an open discussion on the latest findings. Students are encouraged to bring real life problems for discussion.
