Free Radicals are molecules with an unpaired electron. They are generated in our body by various endogenous systems, exposure to different physicochemical conditions or pathophysiological states. At low levels, free radicals exert beneficial effects while at high concentrations, they generate oxidative stress and damage all cell structures. This review deals with the sources of the free radicals, their beneficial and deleterious effects on cellular activities; it highlights the role of free radicals and oxidative stress in various physiological states like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, etc. The harmful effect of free radicals is neutralized by antioxidants, which prevents oxidative damage by reacting with free radicals. Therefore, the best remedy is to increase the intake of natural antioxidant.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry combines knowledge of the biological, medical, and physical sciences in the study of the scientific aspect of drug therapy. The emphasis is on the chemical nature of the reactions and interactions involved in drug therapy. The students will receive a solid background in the aspects of chemistry the most relevant to drugs: physical, organic, and analytical chemistry. They will also learn the fundamental aspects of the synthesis, manufacture, use, and mode of action of drugs. Pharmaceutical drug, also referred to as a medicine or medication, can be loosely defined as any chemical substance  - or product comprising such - intended for use in the medical diagnosis, cure, treatment or prevention of disease.
