Contenuti
Drug dosing: The pharmaceutical phase
Definition of pharmaceutical phase and its steps. Characterization of the importance of an adequate water solubility profile of drugs for the pharmaceutical phase. Definition of the structural reasons of a poor water solubility. Strategies used to improve the solubility of lead-compounds: salt formation, introduction of polar or ionizable subunits, broken of planarity of flat compounds.
Physicochemical properties of drug candidates
Lipophilicity (Log P) and ionization constant (pKa): fundamentals and effects. Determination and analysis of Hansch’s hydrophobicity constants of functional groups. Determination and analysis of Hammett’s electronic constants of functional groups. The structural aspects that influence the pKa of acids and bases: The example of piroxicam. Applications and limitations of the rules for the rapid assessment of drug-like properties. Structure modification strategies for optimization of the lipophilicity and pKa.
The pharmacokinetic phase
Permeability: Fundamentals and effects on bioavailability. Permeability structure modification strategies: changing an ionizable group; adding lipophilicity; isosteric replacement of polar groups; reducing hydrogen bonding; prodrugs, etc. Modifying absorption and excretion of drugs through transporters. The effects of the structure and chirality on plasma protein binding profile. Strategies of molecular modification to improve the metabolic and plasmatic stability of drug candidates: protecting vulnerable sites by substitution or steric hindrance. Structural characteristics of mainly CYP isoforms substrates. CYP inhibition: fundamentals and importance for drug-drug interactions. Structure modification strategies to reduce CYP inhibition: case studies. The impact of hERG blocking in drug discovery. SAR of hERG blocking: structure modification strategies to avoid hERG modulation.
