Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the study of drugs to the development of drugs including drug discovery, delivery, absorption, metabolism, biomedical analysis, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. It helps in the improvement of manufacturing technology of drugs and intermediates. This branch acts as linking and collaboration between many scientific disciplines like biologists, toxicologists, pharmacologists, theoretical chemists, microbiologists, and bio-pharmacists for developing new drugs. Topics studied under pharmaceutical chemistry are:
- Drug discovery
- Protein structure prediction and molecular simulation
- Biochemistry
- Exploratory development
- Phytotherapy & complementary medicine
