PS P151Medicinal Chemistry I4
The course provides students with information regarding the chemical and physical properties of biomolecules. Moreover, the interrelated roles of these molecules in a functioning biological system are emphasized. As we progress through the course, study with the following goals in mind: Learn to speak the language of medicinal chemistry and comprehend the meaning, significance, and origin of terms; Understand the physical, chemical and biological context in which each biomolecule, reaction, or pathway operates; Focus on major themes, especially those relating to regulation, thermodynamics, and the relationship between structure and function; Know the most important techniques that have brought us to our current understanding of biochemistry/medicinal chemistry; Make connections between pathways and identify gaps in our knowledge that promise to challenge future generations of scientists. Upon course completion you should be able to: Understand the fundamental relationships between biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology; Describe the metabolic pathways responsible for normal and abnormal human physiology; Identify the biochemical impact of diseases and some of the drugs used to treat these conditions.

Upon the conclusion of this course students will have been introduced to biopharmaceutical aspects of a variety of dosage forms. They will become familiar with the format of prescriptions and the organization and contents of monographs and their appendices. The application of mathematics to the preparation of prescriptions and drug products will be introduced. The design, preparation, properties, and evaluation of solution dosage forms including incompatibilities will be introduced. Pertinent physical and chemical principles involving solubility, pH effects, selection of excipients (e.g., color, flavor, buffers, preservatives) and their effect on the performance and quality of these dosage forms will be examined. Students will become familiar with Oral solutions, ophthalmic solutions and colligative properties. Pharmaceutical Calculations will be emphasized during this course. Students must show mastery of pharmaceutical calculations at the completion of this course.

The goal of this course is to present the contemporary pharmacogenetic principles applied to the latest innovations in medication therapy. In accordance with this goal, the course overviews genetic factors contributing to drug metabolism and drug response. Here, the emphasis is made on how the genetic makeup of individuals defines the reaction of a human body to drug therapy, with the accent on the relationship between genetic variability and adverse effects of drug therapy. Topics in the course provide a good background to bring together the disciplines of drug metabolism, pharmacogenomics, and clinical pharmacy practice. Basic procedures in pharmacogenetic evaluation of patients will be addressed during the lab exercise. As future pharmacists, it is your primary responsibility to provide pharmaceutical care and have knowledge of therapeutic effects as well as side effects of drugs. You are expected to understand and be able to disseminate/communicate new knowledge about human genome and genetic variability to patients, health professionals, and public health. We hope that students will appreciate the importance of genetic considerations in drug therapy for their future profession.
