Course Descriptions
Medicinal Chemistry 310
Principles of Drug Action (Credits: 3)
This course is designed to help you gain a comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts related to drug actions, their physicochemical properties and interactions with their targets in bacterial, viral and malignant diseases. The class will discuss clinically available drugs used to treat infectious agents and cancer. In order to achieve the course outcomes, a basic understanding of related topics is required. While knowledge of these topics is an absolute necessity, this course is directed towards teaching you to think critically and apply higher thought processes. Thus you will encounter a variety of activities designed with this purpose in mind and active learning will play an important role in this course.
