What is chemical name for drugs?

Image
  The chemical name is a scientific name based on the compound's chemical structure (e.g., 6-thioguanine) and is almost never used to identify the drug in a clinical or marketing situation. The generic name is granted by the USAN Council and is commonly used to identify a drug during its useful clinical lifetime. The company that patents the drug creates the brand name (trademark). This name identifies the drug during the 17 years that the company has exclusive rights to make, sell, and use it under patent law. The process for naming a marketable drug involves five steps: NCE submission and patent application, generic naming, brand naming, FDA review, and final approval. A marketed drug has three names: a chemical name, a generic name, and a brand name. A chemical name is given when a new chemical entity (NCE) is developed.   For more details: Drug Discovery Conference  

What are organic drugs?

Image
  Organic drugs are natural substances extracted from plants and animals.   Examples of them include marijuana, heroin, opium, cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms . Currently, manufacturers of synthetic prescription drugs are held accountable when they produce their products, but even drug manufacturers find it in their best interest to alter drugs’ chemical compositions to make a cheaper product or to produce drugs faster. Many synthetic drugs can be used without causing serious harm. If a drug is taken as prescribed, the effects will be minimal, and generally outweighed by the benefits they provide for a medical condition. However all drugs cause a chemical reaction in the brain, so the longer someone uses any chemical, organic or synthetic, the more change it will cause For more details: Drug Discovery 2023

What do you study in drug design?

Image
To undertake these courses, students are required to have knowledge about biology, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology, and general pathology, normally acquired from introductory courses for medicinal chemistry during a bachelor’s degree program ·          Multiple linear regression (MLR) (10) ·          Principal component analysis (PCA) (11) ·          Partial least-squares (PLS) (12,13) ·          Quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSAR) (14) ·          Three-dimensional QSAR (3D QSAR) (15) ·          Pharmacophore modeling (PM) (16) ·          Molecular docking (MDock) (17) To know more about Drug Discovery Join with us at Drug Discovery 2023, Which is going to be held at September 21-22, 2023 Paris, France For more details : Drug Discovery 2023

What is the history of drug discovery?

Image
  Drug Discovery in modern times straddles three main periods. The first notable period can be traced to the nineteenth century where the basis of drug discovery relied on the serendipity of the medicinal chemists. The second period commenced around the early twentieth century when new drug structures were found, which contributed for a new era of antibiotics discovery The period also was revolutionized by the emergence of recombinant DNA technology, where it became possible to develop potential drugs target candidates. With all the expansion of new technologies and the onset of the "Omics" revolution in the twenty-first century, the third period has kick-started with an increase in biopharmaceutical drugs approved by FDA/EMEA for therapeutic use.
