PSC 6410 Integrated Medicinal Chemistry & Pharmacology III
Lecture: 5 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 5
This is the last of a three-quarter course sequence that integrates the principles and concepts of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology for selected drugs and drug classes. This course provides basic knowledge and builds on students’ understanding of the important chemical and physical properties of a drug molecule that influence its absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. The course focuses on understanding the structure-activity relationships and drug-target interactions that constitute the pharmacological mechanism of action leading to the desired pharmacodynamic effects. The course series also provides the basis of understanding for adverse drug effects and interactions. The age/sex/gene-related variations that impact drug action or effectiveness are also discussed in this series. Basic principles of toxicology are also presented in this final course.
