Therapeutic chemistry is an essential discipline at the interface between chemistry and biomedical sciences. It plays a central role in the design and understanding of the mechanism of action, as well as in the study of the fate of drugs in the body. It enables in-depth analysis of the structure of active ingredients, prediction of their metabolism, and evaluation of their interactions with biological targets, such as enzymes or receptors. Mastering the functional groups, reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical properties of molecules is essential for anticipating their reactivity, bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Stereochemistry also plays a vital role, as a drug’s biological activity is often closely linked to its spatial configuration. A single change in three-dimensional arrangement can transform an active molecule into an inactive or even toxic compound. Therapeutic chemistry thus represents a genuine bridge between the theoretical foundations of chemistry and their practical applications in the healthcare field. It represents an essential knowledge base for innovation in pharmacology, pharmaceutical research and the development of new therapies.
