This course, for chemical scientists who have little or no formal training in physiology, pharmacology, or medicinal chemistry, reviews key concepts and principles of those sciences, including: modern concepts of drug action, drug-receptor interactions, and pharmacophore analysis; the molecular basis for the mechanism of action of drugs; concepts in PK and PD, drug efficacy and potency, physiological effects, and structure/function relationships; modern drug design approaches, including structure-based and ligand-based drug design; and ADME/tox.
Key Topics
* Key concepts and principles that serve as the basis of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.
* Modern concepts of drug action, drug-receptor interactions, and pharmacophore analysis.
* Molecular basis for the mechanism of action of drugs.
* Concepts in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetices.
* Drug efficacy and potency, physiological effects, structure-function relationships
* Physiological and pharmacological effects that guide the design of new therapeutic agents.
* Survey of selected drug classes to highlight general principles.
* Modern drug design approaches, including structure-based and ligand-based drug design.
* Absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity (ADME/tox).
