Abstract

Pharmacodynamic Perspectives of Microbial-Derived Chemical Compounds

Author(s): Sofia R. Dimitrova

Pharmacodynamics examines the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action within biological systems. Microbial chemistry contributes significantly to pharmacodynamic outcomes through the production of chemically diverse metabolites with potent biological activity. These microbial-derived compounds often interact with specific molecular targets, influencing therapeutic efficacy and safety. This article explores the relationship between microbial chemistry and pharmacodynamics, emphasizing how chemical structure, molecular interactions, and biological context shape drug responses.
