Goals Metabolites which occurs once taken into the body and new drug design starting from these
Course Content Introduction to drug metabolism, Factors that effect metabolism, Metabolism pathways, Phase I reactions, Aromatic hydroxylation and its examples, Hydoxylation of benzylic molecules and its examples, Oxidation in aliphatic reactions and its examples, Epoxidation and its examples, N/O/S-dealkylation and their examples, N/S-oxidation and their examples, Dehalogenation and examples, Reduction and hydrolysis reactions and examples, Drug design according to metabolites
Learning Outcomes 1) Knows absorption, distribution and excretion characteristics of drug active substance in the body, gains information about drug development based on from possible metabolites and relationships between chemical structure and biotransformation.
2) The design, synthesis and analysis of pharmaceutical active ingredients, and evaluate the facts of their behavior in biological environment and possible solutions.
3) Applies studies on design, synthesis, structure elucidation and analysis of pharmaceutically active substances.
