These videos describe the chemistry of antibiotic drug development.
One needs to consider a number of factors when developing a new antibiotic. This video introduces the subject of medicinal chemistry and pharmacokinetics.
This video introduces how drugs are developed. The concept of Structure-Activity relationships are described.
Structure-activity relationships can be used to design an antibiotic. Quinolones are used as an example..
One of the largest classes of antibiotics are the beta-lactams (penicillin, for example). How we can use the structure of beta-lactams to develop new compounds is described.
New classes of antibiotics are very needed. This video describes how we can discover new antibiotics.
