“I’m just a drug” …
 
(How a drug becomes a pharmaceutical agent)

Dr. Michael Mosher, Chemistry
University of Nebraska at Kearney

A history of drugs and medicinal chemistry will be presented from Galen and Paracelsus to the modern pharmacy.  Current drug design and development as it pertains to the modern pharmaceutical industry will be the main focus of the discussion as we watch a drug become a lead and then a pharmaceutical agent.  Along the way, we’ll examine the development of aspirin, cimetidine and thalidomide and delve into basic research in the preparation of antidiabetogenic agents such as ISO-1.
