Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will know the problems of discovering and designing new pharmaceutically active substances and patenting their production and use. He will know how to apply computational tools for the forecast of the bio-pharmacological and environmental properties of new chemicals. The student is expected to be able to: 1. Design and discover new drugs; 2. Apply the principles of patenting and intellectual property rights to design and development of new chemical products ; 3. Use the tools of QSAR for the forecast of the properties of new drugs
Course contents
The course is an introduction to computational methods applied to the tackling of chemical problems with emphasis on the relation between structure and chemical properties (biological activity and toxicity). The emphasis will be on the rational design of new molecules of chemical, biological and pharmacological interest and on the toxicity of chemicals.
