  Medicinal chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medicinal or pharmaceutical chemistry is a scientific discipline at the intersection of chemistry and pharmacy involved with designing, synthesizing and developing pharmaceutical drugs.
Medicinal chemistry involves the identification, synthesis and development of new chemical entities suitable for therapeutic use.
Medicinal chemistry is a highly interdisciplinary science combining organic chemistry with biochemistry, computational chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, statistics, and physical chemistry.

 C&EN 970224 - Combinatorial Chemistry
