Abstract:
In the article literature data and own investigations are summarized. Quantum pharmacology is defined as science which uses methods of theoretical chemistry and quantum mechanics as well as a computer modeling for studying drug molecular structure, mechanisms of drug interactions to understand primary pharmacological reactions. Main investigations in quantum pharmacology have been carried out in these arias: 1. Study of drug molecular structure. 2. Quantitative structure-activity relationship study (QSAR). 3. Investigations of mechanisms of drugs action. 4. Pharmacophores study. 5. De novo drug design. 6. Study of protein-ligand interactions for description of reactions between drugs and biomolecules of organism. 7. Investigations of primary mechanisms of drugs action. Study of quantum-pharmacological properties of captopril-inhibitor of angiotensineconverting enzyme showed that its molecule belongs to group of soft reagents, that's why this substance will interact with soft alkaline substances-amino acids, unsaturated and aromatic compounds. Quantum-pharmacological investigations will favour the discovery of new effective drugs for treatment of different diseases.

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or within...
