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]

Pregunta 4
Pregunta
where DON'T novel small molecules come from
Respuesta
Nature
Endogenous compounds
In silico drug design
you too drugs
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
which of the following is NOT a reason why analogue synthesis is required for endogenous lead compounds?
Respuesta
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
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
synthetic drugs can be designed with computer modelling software
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
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.
Respuesta
novel
similar
typical
normal
activity
functional groups
side effects
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
which one of the following is true
Respuesta
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
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The definition for a lead compound is - a novel compound discovered to have pharmaceutical potential which is a good starting point for drug development.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
natural product derivatives are a natural derivative of a synthetic molecule
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
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].
Respuesta
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
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Which of the following are challenges with natural products
Respuesta
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
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
The large molecular weight of many natural products causes:
Respuesta
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
