What's the chemistry of drugs called?

Question

I need to study a branch of chemistry that has no math and physics whatsoever (or at least very little) What branches are not related to these ?
I am not so fond of Biology either :)

Actually I was reffering to zoology ,sorry
I actually enjoy human anatomy.

Answer 1

The chemistry of drugs is known as MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY and is a branch of organic chemistry.
Chemistry is a vast and powerful discipline and has many branches, and it may be difficult to list all these branches here. Most branchses of chemistry like Physical Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry have a lot of Physics and Mathematics in them. Inorganic Chemistry is a bit theoretical, but is extremely important. Organic Chemistry is both quantitative and qualitative, and it is a very challenging discipline.
The branch of chemistry that deals with drugs is a specialised branch of organic chemistry and is known as Medicinal Chemistry.
Physio-Pharmacology should not be confused with medicinal Chemistry. The former deals with administering drugs to different parts of the body, whereas Medicinal Chemistry deals with the synthesis and properties of drugs.

Answer 2

The chemistry of drugs would be Pharmacology.

As for a branch of chemistry with no math, you are completely out of luck. All branches of science are related to each other in one way or another, and all require some form of mathematical knowledge, but chemistry even has its own set of formulas, equations, etc.

As for a branch of chemistry with no physics, that can be done, so long as you stick with organic chemistry. But you've already ruled out Biology, so you may be completely out of luck.

If the only reason you have to study a branch of chemistry is to get a credit, take the most basic course you can and call it done. If you're wanting to study chemistry for a career, but want to do so without math or biology, find another career.

Answer 3

It's not pharmacology.....that is the science of what physiological action a drug causes on the body. Therefore you will definitely need biology to study this.

The chemistry of drugs is called, quite simply, pharmaceutical chemistry. It deals with chemical methods of synthesis of drugs, and how to predict the effect on the properties of the drugs (solubility, partition coefficient, ionisation constant etc) by changing different functional groups..e.g. putting a methyl instead of an F atom e.g. . Maths....well....not as much maths as in physical chemistry I suppose, but definitely more maths than in say, organic chemistry.

Answer 4

yuh hallucinogens can mess yah up, acctually me and this random dude from a pizza shop have been talkin approximately drugs n he stated Acid can triiger some form of schizoprinea in some human beings. yet Salvia is fantastic it dont harm all people. Uhh the Meth Molecule looks purely approximately same to the Dopamine molecule so it tricks your recommendations into producing alot of dopamine. Uhm THC (substantial factor that gets u severe in Weed) is going into the recommendations into THC receptors and produces dopamine? perchance im unsure on weed lol.

Answer 5

I think you're referring to pharmacology. I am sorry, but you're pretty much out of luck if you want to make a major out of it without involving physics or math. Science uses mathematics to quantify itself and physics is a huge part of chemistry, and even biology.

edited to add: claudeaf, I'm slapping myself on the head for that. It's pharmaceuticals, alright.

Answer 6

Yea, Organic Chemistry seems right for you. That is what is used to make drugs (I just finished ochem).

The subject is usually hit or miss with students, either you like it or you hate it, but is sounds like you may be somebody who likes it.

Answer 7

Organic chem has practically no math but lots of memorization.

Answer 8

Maybe you canget a diploma in laboratory technology... You can do experiments with chemicals and drugs...

Answer 9

narcotics
