A. Rationale/Justification for the Course
This course has been taught as a special topics graduate level course in biochemistry and there has been demonstrated
student interest. It delves deeper into topics that are presented in general biochemistry courses and applies those
fundamental principles, and it includes student presentations and discussions of the current scientific literature. The
course provides important and relevant applications and skills for Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Biology
majors/minors who want to pursue graduate and professional studies and careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, the
pharmaceutical industry, and other related disciplines. In addition, it would provide an elective course that fits well
within the proposed interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program.

Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design
Tentative Syllabus
Text: Foye’s Principles of Medicinal Chemistry, 5th or 6th Edition, by Williams and Lemke
Some additional articles may be chosen as relevant research in the field.
Instructor: Dr. Deborah Heyl-Clegg Office: 501G Mark Jefferson
Phone: 487-2057 e-mail: dheylcle@emich.edu
Course Objectives:
1. Recognize how different functional groups contribute to
pharmacokinetic properties such as solubility, absorption, membrane
penetration, and duration of action.
2. Understand how ionization of drugs is influenced by pH.
3. Understand how physicochemical parameters (electronic character,
ionizability, lipophilicity, H-bonding, size/shape/steric constraints)
can be influenced and modified by structural changes.
4. Understand the different types of cellular receptors and associated
signal transduction and the concepts of agonists, antagonists, and
selectivity.
5. Understand the various mechanisms by which drugs act in different
physiological systems (for example, opening or closing ion channels,
inhibiting an enzyme, stimulating or blocking a receptor that regulates
a signaling cascade).
6. Be familiar with the basic pharmacophore of each class of drug
studied and the structure-activity relationships (how chemical
structure influences biological activity).
7. Understand why side effects occur in pharmacological intervention
and explore ways to minimize these.
8. Be able to read, understand, present, and discuss the current scientific
literature pertaining to the classes of drugs studied.
Course Format: The first two topics will be covered in a lecture format, followed by in-class case
study discussions that involve application of the material covered. During this time, students will
choose and sign up for one of the later topics to be covered. The student will be responsible for
choosing a relevant journal article from the current scientific literature on their selected topic that is
made available to the class prior to the scheduled day for that topic, and putting together a
presentation on that topic and paper. On the scheduled day, the instructor will first lecture on the
topic, followed by the student’s Powerpoint presentation to the class.

Exam questions will be based on the lecture material, including any additional material from nontext sources. Exams will be primarily essay and short answer in format and will require the
understanding and application of concepts explained in class (not solely memorization of facts) and
may have take-home sections that will involve further research into the problem.
Grades will be based on a standard scale (A= 93-100, A-= 90-92, B+= 87-89, B= 83-86, B-= 80-82,
C+= 77-79, C= 73-76, C-= 70-72,…). It is not expected that any student will receive lower than a
C- since this is a graduate class and there are numerous opportunities to earn points. However,
failure to complete assignments will result in a failing grade. Final grades will be determined by the
total points earned as a percentage of 500. Make-up exams and extensions will be given only for
excused absences for truly extenuating circumstances; it is your responsibility to notify the
instructor BEFOREHAND. Unexcused late assignments will be penalized at 5 points/day. Please
be sure to come for help as soon as any problems arise (not just before the exam) and feel free to ask
any questions during class or outside of class during office hours or via e-mail.
Class material including lecture notes, answers to in class or homework assignments, journal
articles, study guides, and sample exam questions will be posted on the e-reserves system. Further
instructions on the assigned papers can be found on the following page.
