| Syllabus: | This unit is designed to familiarise students with the fundamentals of medicinal chemistry, deepen their understanding of pharmacokinetics in the clinical setting and introduce them to the general concepts of drug toxicology. Students will learn about the drug discovery process and the chemical/pharmacokinetic profiles of the major drug groups. This unit is divided into two learning modules. Module 1: Drug discovery and design, CNS-acting drugs, cardiovascular drugs, steroidal drugs, NSAIDs, antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, antihistamines, anticancer drugs, radiopharmaceuticals. Module 2: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), hepatic and renal disease, pharmacogenetics, clinical pharmacokinetics (includes cardiovascular drugs, antibacterials, anticonvulsants and immunosuppressants), pharmaceutical toxicology. |
