Medicinal Chemistry | MUIT Lucknow

 The study of medicinal Chemistry includes synthesizing and developing new chemical moieties with findings of their properties, i.e., physical, chemical, and pharmacological properties pointing out their possible therapeutic applications. This chemistry involves studying current moieties and associated drugs and their co-relation with pharmacological action with quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). Pharmaceutical Chemistry also deals with the check of drug quality and their validation for the rationale of pharmaceutical products.

Pharmaceutical chemistry involves the development, innovation, drawing, recognition of pharmacologically active moieties, and also the study of their ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) properties.

Medicinal chemistry is an interdisciplinary area by definition, and practitioners must have a strong background in organic chemistry, as well as a thorough understanding of biology ideas linked to cellular drug targets.

The pharmaceutical industry covers a wide range of specialties, although medicinal chemistry plays a consistent role in all aspects of the pharmaceutical sciences. It’s no wonder that people with a background in medicinal chemistry are drawn to this field because of the wide range of applications for their skills and experience.

Importance of medicinal chemistry

Medicinal chemists play an important role in drug development by selecting synthetic molecules that establish a structure-activity relationship and demonstrate efficacy and safety in preclinical animal testing.

The modern chemist’s position has been transformed by combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, and molecularly specified targets that enable structure-based drug creation.


 Career Opportunities

Pharmaceutical corporations, biotech companies, government organizations, universities, and research institutes employ medicinal chemists in their biological laboratories. They are useful to the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Teams of scientists from various backgrounds work together in the lab.

Many medicinal chemists start in the lab and then move on to other laboratory careers like

  •         Process chemistry
  •         Formulation chemistry
  •         Quality control
  •         Quality assurance

Planning Construction of Box-Girder Bridges

Image
Bridges are the most complicated structures of today’s road and rail transportation networks, and these are often referred to as a lifeline of the social infrastructure system. Among the different types available,  hollow web girder  or  box girder bridges  are best suited nowadays. These bridges are preferred because of their higher torsional and flexural stiffnesses, higher effectiveness, better stability, economy and aesthetics in comparison to other bridge types.  The bridges can be constructed by using different materials e.g. composite, steel, reinforced concrete, and prestressed concrete. The reinforced concrete (RC) is a suitable material for short and medium span bridges, and it has the additional benefit of strength against the harsh environmental conditions compared to other materials. Its use became widespread for both road and railway bridges over time, primarily due to high compressive strength, adequate tensile strength, low construction cost, durability, and requirement

National Unity Day 2022

Image
To commemorate the birth anniversary of Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel,  31st October is celebrated as National Unity Day.  To celebrate the National Unity Day 2022, Maharishi University of Information Technology, under the theme “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat”, planned a series of activites including Run for Unity, essay competition, exhibition, quiz and a Special lecture  spanning over the day. Run for Unity was organized this morning at MUIT Lucknow Sports Ground coordinated by Dr. Kalyan Acharjya (Dean, MSOET). It was participated by approx 200 participants including Dean Academics, Dy Dean-Academics, Dean Research, Deans of all Schools, faculty and students.  At the end of the rally, all participants took a pledge to work for a better India to realize "Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat".

Derivatives: What is good to know before investing?

Image
  Derivatives are essentially contracts whose value is derived from the underlying asset. The underlying asset can be a financial asset or a commodity. The value of the underlying asset is constantly changing according to market conditions. Financial Derivatives:  Derivatives derived from financial assets are known as financial derivatives. Financial assets include stocks, interest rates, currencies, index, etc. For example, stocks are derivatives whose underlying asset is the stock. Commodity Derivatives:  Commodity derivatives are derived from a physical commodity. A physical commodity means commodities like oil, milk, etc. For example, if the price of milk increases, the price of ice cream and butter will increase. In this case, milk is the underlying asset and a change in the price of the asset changes the price of things derived from it. Similarly, if the price of crude oil increases, so will the price of petrol and diesel. Crude oil is the underlying asset and gasoline and diesel
