Medicinal chemistry - Structure and activity of medicinal products

This study outlines the various stages involved in the discovery and development of a new active ingredient. Subsequently, and with a view to submitting a marketing authorization application for a drug (MA), the corresponding pharmaco-toxicological, clinical and pharmaceutical files must be supplied.

The pharmaceutical dossier includes a description of the preparation method, requiring the use of various industrial processes ranging from extraction to hemisynthesis or total synthesis. The choice of method generally depends on its cost price.
