Pharmaceutical
chemistry is an interdisciplinary science,
which has seen enormous growth in the past
decade. Traditionally accepted as a branch
of organic chemistry, the subject has
reached a tremendous level of complexity
today. It involves many aspects like
synthesis, isolation, purification and
characterization of anticipated organic
compounds that can be used in medicine for
the treatment and cure of diseases. On the
other hand it establishes a link between
chemical structure and biological activity.
Medicinal Chemist plays a very crucial role
in the design and development of selective,
potential, non-toxic, new chemical entities
which meet all the desired pharmacokinetic
properties. Analytical Chemistry deals with
qualitative and quantitative techniques of
analysis. The special emphasis is on
application in research and in industry. |

With the aim to explore
and elaborate such fundamentals in a
systematic manner undergraduate chemistry
department is designed which is comprised of
four labs devoted to medicinal chemistry,
Analytical chemistry, Organic chemistry,
Biochemistry and inorganic pharmaceutical
chemistry. Each laboratory is well equipped
with state of the art instruments to give
hands on experience to the students. |
