biological drugs (also known as [blank_start]biologics[blank_end]) are [blank_start]large[blank_end] molecule drugs. They are usually [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] such as [blank_start]peptides[blank_end] or antibodies but could be a nucleic acid. When discovered they are referred to as a [blank_start]NBE[blank_end]

Question 3
Question
a blockbuster drugs earns over $10 billion a year
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
where DON'T novel small molecules come from
Answer
Nature
Endogenous compounds
In silico drug design
you too drugs
Question 5
Question
which of the following is NOT a reason why analogue synthesis is required for endogenous lead compounds?
Answer
natural ligand may have undesirable duration of action
natural ligand may be metabolised too quickly
natural ligand may be chemically unstable
natural ligand may not have pharmacophore
Question 6
Question
synthetic drugs can be designed with computer modelling software
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
a me too drug has a similar structure to an existing drug, modified enough to make the compound [blank_start]novel[blank_end], but not so much that [blank_start]activity[blank_end] is affected.
Answer
novel
similar
typical
normal
activity
functional groups
side effects
Question 8
Question
which one of the following is true
Answer
side effects caused by drugs are never useful
side effects from drugs can be useful by providing a new lead compound for the same condition
side effects from drugs can be useful by providing a new lead compound for a different condition
side effects from drugs are always useful even if no new lead compounds are found
Question 9
Question
The definition for a lead compound is - a novel compound discovered to have pharmaceutical potential which is a good starting point for drug development.
Answer
True
False
Question 10
Question
natural product derivatives are a natural derivative of a synthetic molecule
Answer
True
False
Question 11
Question
Natural product derivatives are used as drug compounds because they are [blank_start]less[blank_end] complex and [blank_start]smaller[blank_end] so easier to deliver, and possibly [blank_start]easier to deliver[blank_end]. The active part of the molecule may be used to save [blank_start]time and money[blank_end].
Answer
less
more
equally as
smaller
larger
have a higher LogP
easier to deliver
more lipinski like
better formulated as creams
time and money
space
wastage and filtration
Question 12
Question
Which of the following are challenges with natural products
Answer
chrial centres which leads to 10,000's of isomers
unusual functional groups causes complex chemistry
difficult and ineffective multistep synthesis
novel structures means scientists cannot predict LogP values
Question 13
Question
The large molecular weight of many natural products causes:
Answer
I.V to often be the route of administration
Good absorption through SGLT channels in the duodenal epithelium
them to be stable in the stomach due to oxygen (ether) groups
