This course presents the fundamentals of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics as they apply to the chemical structure of drugs. There will be specific discussion of the role of medicinal chemistry in the drug discovery process, how chemical structure affects the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME properties) of drugs and also drug affinity and efficacy (Pharmacodynamics). By the end of this course students should be able to understand the role of the medicinal chemist on various iterations of teams involved in drug discovery and development. This course is centered on gaining an understanding of in vitro PK assay data (Caco-2, MDCK, PAMPA, microsomes, hepatocytes etc) to predict in vivo PK and optimize drug ADME properties. This course will meet online for 6 sessions of 75 minutes each.
