The article shows the relevance of introducing knowledge about biologically active substances
based on heterocycles into educational programs of higher educational institutions. Heterocycles, which
are rings with different atoms, play an important role in molecular biology and medicine. The paper
presents pedagogical methods aimed at effectively introducing materials about heterocycles into
educational courses. Essential for expanding students' basic knowledge of heterocyclic compounds. The
study substantiates the importance of introducing an extensive course on biologically active substances
based on heterocycles into the curricula of higher educational institutions. It turns out that this topic not
only contributes to the understanding of molecular mechanisms in organisms, but also has application in
the pharmaceutical and medical fields. The work offers conceptual and methodological approaches to
integrating this material into the educational process to provide students with the necessary knowledge
that meets modern requirements of science and practice
