The student should be able to: Use modern electronic databases in the field of chemistry and biology, other Internet resources.
Course content
The course begins with the main stages of the modern drug discovery cycle. For understanding prerequisites of the current connection between organic synthesis and drug discovery, is given attention to earlier events in pharmacology, namely to the emergence of high-performance screening (HTS) in the mid-1980s. So the next part is an introduction to HTS and the role of chemistry in it, as well as the answer to the question of how it works. The next part is dedicated introducing the basic definitions of chemoinformatics, especially the concept of chemical space. After introducing the definition of chemical space, two more concepts are discussed, viz virtual navigation in chemical space and synthetic exploration of chemical space. The first concept is mostly aimed at high-quality design criteria compiled libraries. The second concerns trends and concepts observed in synthetic chemistry: syntheses focused on diversity/biology/finding leads and others. For comparison, "traditional" targeted synthesis and new methodologies are also discussed. Combinatorial chemistry approaches, which are an integral part of all, are also considered separately modern concepts related to the early stages of the development of new medicines.
