PSC 6220 Integrated Medicinal Chemistry & Pharmacology I
Lecture: 5 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 5
This is the first in a three-quarter course sequence that introduces and integrates the principles and concepts of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. This course presents students a basis of understanding of how a drug molecule’s chemical and physical properties affect its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. It also considers the site and mechanisms of action of selected drugs and drug classes, and the characteristic structure-activity relationships influencing drug-target interactions that, in turn, determine their pharmacodynamic effects - including adverse drug effects and interactions. The age/sex/gene-related variations that impact drug action or effectiveness are also discussed in this series.
