Pharmaceutical Chemistry

AY2017/2018 Semester 1

Learning Objects: Pharmaceutical Chemistry is one interdisciplinary course to train the chemistry students with extensive knowledge of pharmacology and biomedical sciences. In this course, the students will learn how the drug molecules will sustain their activities, their basic metabolism process, the essential pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, biomedical analysis assay, biomedical microbiology and the antibiotic bacterial inactivation, basic concepts in clinical antitumor treatment. Moreover, brand new techniques in biomedical molecular imaging, and functional nanotechnology in nano-medicine will be also extensively covered in this class. Course Description The principles of pharmacology, drug metabolism, essential knowledge and analytical techniques in pharmaceutical science, latest development in bacterial inactivation and cancer theranostics, multi-modality molecular imaging, and nano-medicine and nano-toxcity.
