Introduction to pharmacology. Structural factors and physicochemical properties in relation to biological activity. Pharmacokinetics, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs, influencing factors, physiological barriers of distribution, basic pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of drugs action, drugs interactions, adverse and toxic effects of drugs, preclinical and clinical testing of drugs. The main molecular aspects of selected pharmacotherapeutic groups. Bacterial antibiotic resistance development. Immunotherapy, gene therapy.

| Learning outcomes |
|
The goal is to give an overview about the interaction of a drug with living organism; and the mechanisms of drug action and their experimental and clinical application.
After the course, the student will be able to discuss basic mechanisms of drugs action. Student is able (after attending of course) to understand and describe: - the theoretical principles of drug action at the molecular level - the molecular aspects of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics - the main molecular targets of selected pharmacotherapeutic groups |
