Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry Research Areas and Disciplines | |
Pharmaceutical chemistry research focuses on the discovery of new drugs and the development of tools needed to monitor their large-scale synthesis and medical effectiveness. Generally this is in collaboration with biochemists, organic chemists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists.
Researchers are applying an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of compounds to solve drug delivery challenges. Ongoing projects include incorporating solubility and metabolism stability in drug design, anticancer drug formulations, and new drug delivery technologies for peptides. As well, researchers are doing in-vivo evaluation of new chemical entities, novel formulations, and drug delivery technologies to determine their effectiveness.
Other researchers are looking at pharmaceuticals that have been detected and quantified in different bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, surface waters, sewage treatment plant influent and effluent waters, ground water, and drinking water. Scientists are working to create more efficient ways to detect drug metabolites such as nordiazepam and norfluoxetine in wastewater, which can have possible harmful effects to the surrounding environment.
