Course Information
This course is for chemical scientists who have little or no formal training in physiology, pharmacology, or medicinal chemistry. It reviews key concepts and principles of those sciences, including:
  • Modern concepts of drug action, drug-receptor interactions, and pharmacophore analysis
  • 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
  • ADME/tox
