Inorganic Pharmacy I (PHR)
Enrollment is Closed
PHR 101 (Inorganic Pharmacy-I): The purpose of this course is to introduce the pharmacy students to the chronological evaluation of structure of atoms. This course will also help them to understand the periodic table more efficiently with better knowledge about their properties. It will demonstrate the characteristics of some of the elements of periodic table like alkali and alkaline earth metals, inert gases etc. In addition, some other important topics like chemical bonds, co-ordination bonds, impurities and medicinal gases will be discussed in this respective course.
About This Course
The course gives the systemic overview of importance of inorganic agents from a pharmaceutical point of view. The primary objective of this course is to introduce the pharmacy students to the properties of different classes of inorganic compounds so that they can use these knowledge in future in various fields such as designing drugs, toxicology etc. Increased challenges in health care (ageing populations, chronic disease, spiraling costs, etc.) urgently call for the development and exploitation of less conventional inorganic bioactive molecules that meet the biomedical requirements.
