About Study Course
Objective
1. Promote knowledge acquisition and understanding of innovative drug delivery systems (nanoparticles, hydrogels, implant materials, etc.), their diversity, properties, materials used in synthesis, in vitro analysis methods, and potential pharmaceutical applications.2. Provide in-depth knowledge of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of the formulation of drug delivery systems and their interactions with human anatomical structures and physiological processes.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, analytical chemistry, medical chemistry, physical pharmacy, anatomy, normal physiology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical form technology, English language.
Learning outcomes
1.Successful study course completion results in students being able to
• Recognise and characterise the more common drug delivery systems, their classification and their use in the pharmaceutical field;
• Characterise and compare polymer and lipid materials and their role in the synthesis of different drug delivery systems;
• Identify key in vitro analysis methods for the characterisation of nanoparticles and hydrogels;
• Recognise anatomical and physiological obstacles that may hinder the delivery of drugs;
• Identify the main physical and chemical parameters of drugs that will influence the selection of the drug delivery system;
• Name a variety of internal and external stimuli that may modify the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of the formulations
1.As a result of successful study course acquisition, students will be able to:
• Choose the appropriate drug delivery system based on the physical and chemical properties of drug;
• Define key steps in designing and characterising drug delivery systems;
• Identify the type of nanoparticles based on their chemical composition;
• Assess the characteristics of given formulations obtained during in vitro testing and assess whether such formulation could be used in the pharmaceutical field.
1.As a result of the successful completion of the study course, students will be able to evaluate the quality of information available in scientific literature and elsewhere regarding common drug delivery systems and critically evaluate the use possibilities of such delivery systems in the pharmaceutical field. Students will be able to offer drug delivery system-based solutions to a variety of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic problems.
