What is a pharmacophore?

Pharmacophore in terms of pharmaceutical chemistry, is the region of the molecule of a linker that is closely linked to its receptor. The knowledge of this region enables the planning of synthetic drugs.

Explanation:

Medical chemistry is currently in a revolutionary phase. The rapid advances in biological sciences have led to a deeper understanding of cellular functions at the molecular level.

As a result of this knowledge, the main objective of any project in pharmaceutical chemistry is to determine what the biological objective will be to achieve and build a molecule that interacts with it.

Understanding the structure and function of the biological objective to be achieved, as well as the mechanism by which it interacts with potential drugs is crucial to their development.
