This course will introduce concepts required to understand drug-chemical structures, their biological activities, and their physicochemical properties. It builds on principles of pharmacology and introduces concepts related to medicinal chemistry, dose-response theory, structure-activity relationships, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), homeostasis, and pharmacogenomics. By the end of this course, students will have gained the foundational knowledge necessary to understand drug action and their clinical applications.
