Biochemistry

General skills At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the main basic notions regarding medicinal chemistry by a biochemical approach. In particular, he will know the physical and chemical principles of the action of drugs, the classes of receptors on which the drugs act and the action of the main classes of drugs on their receptors. Specific skills a) knowledge and understanding - knowledge of the main classes of receptors involved in the action of drugs - knowledge of the chemical structure of drugs b) applying knowledge and understanding - explain the mechanism of action of drugs by a biochemical approach - explain the binding of the drugs on their receptors c) making judgments - identify the biochemical mechanisms of the drug action - suggest the potential action of drugs on different receptors d) communication skills - draw the chemical structures of drugs - describe the interaction of drugs on their receptors by a biochemical approach e) learning skills - acquisition of the basics of medicinal chemistry to carry out in-depth study of the subject - apply the knowledge acquired in medicinal chemistry working conditions
