The fourth in a six-course sequence. Focuses over a two-year period on the chemistry of natural and synthetic drug entities-- their physiochemical properties, methods of synthesis, sources, derivatives, modes of biotransformation, and structureactivity relationships. Links the chemical structure of drugs to their pharmacological/pharmacokinetic/toxicity profiles.
-
2.00 Credits
Focuses on enzyme and nucleic acid targets for drugs that are involved with various aspects of chemotherapy; antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and cancer chemotherapy. Emphasizes mechanism of action and aspects of toxicity of these agents. Prerequisite: RXPS 714 and P3, WQ standing.
-
2.00 Credits
Completes the consideration of drugs acting on enzyme targets involved with chemotherapy. Considers other drug categories, including drugs interacting with the immune system, both immunostimulants and immunosuppresants; as well as miscellaneous targets involved with diseases, such as osteoarthritis, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, and allergic conditions. Prerequisite: RXPS 715; P3 SQ standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces traditional Chinese medicine--a term used to describe a predominantly preventive system of health care that goes beyond specific medical practices to an integration of wellness with all other aspects of life. Familiarizes the student with this alternative worldview, which may in many ways serve as a model for current, counseling-intensive pharmacy practice. Prerequisite: P3 standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Discusses potential toxicity as an intrinsic feature of pharmacy practice. Emphasizes understanding of basic principles of toxicology that can be applied to any toxic emergency that may arise. Focuses on possible toxic effects/consequences, of which the pharmacist should be aware, of drugs and other products sold in pharmacies. Discusses treatment of toxicity, which may require antidotes that the pharmacist will be required to provide.
-
1.00 Credits
Provides insight into newly developed anticancer drugs and novel developments in cancer therapeutics.
