Recommended: an advanced undergraduate organic chemistry course, at least one graduate course in biochemistry (CMBI 6601 , CMBI 6602 , CMBI 6603 ), and a graduate course in cell biology (CMBI 7607 ). Pharmacology is the study of therapeutics, agents administered to acheive a beneficial therapeutic effect on some disease process. This survey course will cover a general overview of pharmacology including principles of pharmacodynamics (mechanism of action of drugs) and pharmacokinetics (the role of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in drug action). The general concepts will be applied to case studies of specific drugs taken from the main classes of therpeutic agents.

CHEM 6665 - Combinatorial Chemistry
Prerequisites: CHEM 6650 and CHEM 6606 . Students are expected to have a strong undergraduate background in organic chemistry. Combinatorial chemistry is a relatively new approach for producing large collections of compounds for analysis. This course will cover the fundamental techniques and ideas for generating diverse libraries of compounds. Students will learn and utilize several computer packages to design, analyze, and evaluate combinatorial libraries. Examples will be drawn principally from drug design since combinatorial chemistry has had a major impact on the development of new pharmacological agents. Students anticipating careers in pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries will find this course of value.
