Course Description:  The mission of the Pharmaceutical Chemistry course is to introduce students to the structure, properties, and analysis of pharmaceutical agents and metabolites as well as some fundamental techniques used for near patient testing and pharmacokinetic analysis. Topics include basic concepts in medicinal chemistry as well as methods of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis: 1) the drug discovery and development process, 2) review of organic functional groups found in drug molecules, 3) drug-target interactions, 4) physicochemical properties related to drug action such as acid-base properties, equilibrium, and stereochemistry, 5) Chemistry of OTC inorganic drugs, 6) Effect of chemical structure on the metabolism of drug molecules, 7) Fundamentals of neurochemistry, and 8) Chromatographic (especially HPLC and LC-MS) analysis of pharmaceutical agents, metabolites, and clinical samples
