Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a branch of chemistry which deals with the study of organic chemistry (molecules and compounds) in combination with structural & chemical biology and pharmacology for producing pharmaceutical drugs and medicines. In the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, we synthesis/isolate & explore molecules of therapeutic relevance for better health, empowered by novel technologies at the interface of chemistry, analysis, and computational sciences. This subject deals with classification and nomenclature of simple organic compounds, structural isomerism, intermediates forming in reactions, important physical properties, reactions and methods of preparation of these compounds. The syllabus also emphasizes on mechanisms and orientation of reactions. This course deals with the fundamentals of analytical chemistry and principles of electrochemical analysis of drugs. This subject deals with the application of instrumental methods in qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs. This subject is designed to impart a fundamental knowledge on the principles and instrumentation of spectroscopic and chromatographic technique. This also emphasizes on theoretical and practical knowledge on modern analytical instruments that are used for drug testing. Pharmaceutical chemistry department is established under the guidance of Mrs. A. D. Rasal, having experience of about 12 years in academics.
