Course content
|
Students will get acquinted with the content of the subject, fundamental terms and methods of evaluation of biological activity. Biologically active compounds occurring in nature in bacteria, moulds, mycetes, plants, and animals. Their structure, biological properties, history of their usage, and methods of their isolation or synthesis will be preferably studied. Important compounds with some applicability, for example pesticides, drugs or food contaminants will be selected in preference. Independent part will be focused on natural dyestuff. Changes of biological activity with structure of compounds and its different applicability will be shown on examples like dicumarol - warfarin, bromadiolone - ethylbiscumacetate; epibatidin - imidaclopride - ABT-594, and so on). These interconnections will be pointed out at the lessons dealing with pesticides and drugs. Pesticides and chemical weapons- main groups, their representatives, synthesis will be studied in the second part of the semester. Modern and used compounds, their metabolism and mode of the action will be emphasized.
