Subject outline
Modern pharmacy practice involves the dispensing of drugs and advice concerning their use. In order to properly advise patients on the use of drugs it is necessary to understand the mechanisms by which the drugs are absorbed and interact with their site of action. Such understanding is achieved by knowing how drug structure influences physical properties and their interactions with receptors. As defined, this subject is concerned with the invention, discovery, design, identification and preparation of biologically active compounds, the study of their metabolism, the interpretation of their mode of action at the molecular level and the construction of structure activity relationships. The goal of this subject is to provide fundamental principles of Biopharmaceutics, qualitative and quantitative descriptions of factors which influence drug disposition and clinical applications of pharmacokinetics.
