Synopsis:

The course focuses on the fundamentals of the chemistry of natural compounds with regard to their use in medicinal chemistry, pharmacy and radiopharmacy. Emphasis is placed on biopolymers (proteins and peptides, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc.) and their basic building blocks, amino acids, nucleosides, nucleotides, etc., whose transformation forms the chemical basis of biological processes, as well as bioregulators (enzymes, vitamins and hormones).

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Chemistry of heterocyclic compounds, nomenclature. Reactions of heterocycles: nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution, addition, cycloaddition, transfer and other reactions.

2.Peptides and proteins including their building blocks - amino acids

3.Carbohydrates
