The discipline of medicinal chemistry is devoted to the discovery and development of new agents for treating diseases.
Therefore, it deals with the search for new drugs on biochemical bases or
modification of old ones to improve their biological action (response).
Medicinal chemistry correlates drug structural formula to its physicochemical
properties which affect drug action by influencing drug bio-distribution
process (absorption, distribution, protein binding, metabolism, excretion, and receptor-interaction.
