Course content
Object of pharmaceutical chemistry, basic notions - pharmacology, pharmacognosy, galenic pharmacy, medicinal drug, form of medicinal drug. Basic principles of general pharmacology - way of administration, fate of drug in organism: absorption, transport and distribution, metabolism (bio-transformations - oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, conjugation, non-enzymatic transformations), excretion. Effects of medicinal drugs - specific and non-specific effect - relationships between structure and effect. Problems of research and development of new pharmaceuticals. European and Czech Pharmacopoeias, classification of drugs from pharmacological standpoint. General anaesthetics - mechanism of action. Syntheses of fluorine-containing inhalation anaesthetics (halothane), general intravenous anaesthetics (thiopental). Hypnotics and sedatives - effect and application. Syntheses of selected hypnotics of the 1st to 3rd generations.:
