I am not sure if he is officially called the father of medicinal chemistry, but surely Paul Ehrlich would be just that. He won the 1908 Nobel prize in medicine for elucidating the structure of atoxyl, a compound used to treat sleeping sickness. He also developed the drug Arsphenamine, a prodrug used to target bacteria up until penicillin was discovered. He called this drug "Magic Bullets" for its ability to selectively target bacteria. He is also credited with coining the term chemotherapy.
