Biomedicinal Chemistry (Theory)

By Mrs. Antim Rao, Mr. Harishchand Jangid & Mr. Jitendra Kumar Sharma

Biomedicinal Chemistry is an essential subject in pharmaceutical education that bridges the principles of chemistry with the understanding of drugs, their properties, and their therapeutic applications. It provides a foundation for understanding how chemical structures, functional groups, and molecular interactions influence the biological activity of medicinal compounds. A sound knowledge of these concepts enables pharmacy students to appreciate the scientific principles underlying drug discovery, development, and the rational design of safer and more effective medicines.

About This Book

This book, Biomedicinal Chemistry (Theory) (BP501T), has been prepared primarily for B.Pharm V Semester students in accordance with the New Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) Syllabus 2026, aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework. The content has been organized to facilitate systematic learning, strengthen fundamental concepts, and support students in preparing for university examinations while developing a broader understanding of the subject.

The book presents important concepts in a clear, structured, and student-friendly manner. Emphasis has been placed on the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity, the properties of medicinally important compounds, and the chemical principles relevant to pharmaceutical research and drug development. Appropriate examples, simplified explanations, and relevant chemical representations are intended to help students connect theoretical knowledge with practical pharmaceutical applications.

Beyond examination preparation, this book aims to encourage students to develop analytical thinking and scientific curiosity. Understanding medicinal chemistry is not limited to memorizing chemical structures or reactions; it involves recognizing how molecular composition, physicochemical properties, and chemical modifications can influence drug behaviour and therapeutic outcomes. These insights form an important foundation for advanced studies in pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, drug design, and related disciplines.
