• MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY Page

  This course begins with a brief coverage of the basic principles of Medicinal Chemistry and moves on to deal with chemical nomenclature, synthesis, mechanisms of action,  brand names, uses and side effects of the following classes of drugs: autonomic drugs,  cardiovascular drugs, hormonal agents, prostaglandins and  eicosanoids. etc. The other aspects covered are the drug’s target, the principle of drug action, interaction among drugs as well as the concept behind drug discovery and development. The course includes laboratory experiments and application of basic drug synthesis and structure-activity relationship through lecture, e-learning and group work. It incorporates elements of HIEPs Intensive Academic Writing (IAW) in the assessment. The students should be able to understand basic chemistry principles and perform chemistry experiments that cover techniques, methods, observations and data collections.

  
  

  
  

  
  

• Phytochemistry Page

  The course aims to provide students with the necessary skills for separation of the active constituents obtained from natural sources  in addition to the different methods of separation (chromatography) and then identify these active ingredients either in pure form of a mixture- as well as the different methods to  prevent adulteration and counterfeit medicines of these components and how to overcome and solve problems as well as how to deal with poisoning and abuse substances. The course includes laboratory experiments and application of basic phytochemistry and their pharmacological uses through lecture, e-learning, self-directed learning and group work. It incorporates elements of HIEPs Intensive Academic Writing (IAW) in the assessment. The students should be able to demonstrate personal skills in discussing the physicochemical properties of natural products, produce a comprehensive written report on the uses of active constituents in medicinal plants, and apply pharmaceutical science principles in phytochemistry.

• Veterinary Pharmacy Page

  The course aims at introducing students to etiology, sign and symptoms and treatment of common diseases in farm animals and pets using drugs. The contributing factors and symptoms of the main infectious diseases, food deficiency and metabolic dysfunction in domestic animals and pets would be analyzed. The students are expected to demonstrate the social communication in discussing common animal health, the dosage form and specific delivery systems of drugs available for treating animals. Aspects of responsibility and ethics in veterinary practice and its related regulations would also be discussed. Teaching will be largely delivered via lectures, industrial visit, tutorial and e-learning. Students are expected to gain a general idea about the practice of veterinary pharmacy and are able to begin exploring the profession via the role-play project given.

  
  

• Traditional and Complementary Medicines Page
