PHCY 735 - Pharmochemistry of the Anti-infective Drugs


3 Credits
This course presents the principles of pathogenicity of major disease-causing bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and helminthes. In addition, the basic concepts of pharmacology and medicinal chemistry of drugs used as anti-infective agents, specifically antimicrobials, antivirals, and antifungals, among others are emphasized to support proper selection of chemotherapeutic agents to treat individual infections. The drugs’ chemical properties, mechanisms of action, clinical uses, adverse reactions, resistance, and structure- and mechanism-based interactions are covered.
