Course objectives
The subject serves to broaden and deepen the knowledge of biologically active substances according to their classification into individual pharmacotherapeutic groups or according to the classification of the drug in terms of its effect at the molecular level (in terms of its mechanism of action at the level of receptor, enzyme, ion channel, etc.). It also deals with methods of molecular design, study of chemical structure relations and biological activity of pharmaceuticals in relation to physicochemical properties and studies the biological activity of the drug in relation to its spatial arrangement, including the influence of chirality on its efficiency and biotransformation.
Learning outcomes
The knowledge of the topics of the discipline to the extent which will be preliminarily agreed among the guarantor, Ph.D. student and his/her tutor.
Syllabus
  • General knowledge:
    - nonspecific and specific action of drugs - the importance of physicochemical properties, the binding of the drug to the target endogenous structure
    - quantitative relationships between chemical structure and biological activity and molecular modeling in drug development
    - drug metabolism - 1st and 2nd phase of biotransformation
    Therapeutic drug groups:
    - substances affecting the peripheral nervous system
    - substances affecting the central nervous system
    - substances affecting the cardiovascular and renal system
    - drugs that affect blood clotting
    - drugs that affect the nociceptive system and the therapy of the locomotory system
    - antihistamines, antiallergics, prostanoids, leukotrienes, antiserotoninergics and migraine prophylaxis
    - digestive and excretory drugs
    - therapy of respiratory diseases
    - medicines with an effect on the function of the internal secretion glands
    - chemotherapeutics - microbial, viral, parasitic and cancerous diseases
