Drug Design (3 Cr.Hr.): The course emphasizes a combination of fundamental and application of drug design. The strategies used by Medicinal Chemists to design new drugs to treat significant disease states are outlined. The course deals in details, with the methods used for molecular modification of known drugs, and also discusses the role of molecular modeling techniques in the development of new drugs. Different examples and applications are given.
2) 501552 Pharmaceutical Technology (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course provides the students with the recent and more advanced pharmaceutical technology and dosage forms are studied during this course including the following: Sustained release technology, therapeutic rate controlling delivery system, micro encapsulation, ambulatory infusion devices, solubilization technology, including: cyclodextrin inclusion complexes and supercritical fluids. Nasal drug delivery systems and aerosols. Packaging technology and sterilization and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
3) 501553 Dosage Forms (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the factors that must be considered in designing the most efficacious dosage form of a drug biological, physical, chemical and biochemical consideration. Mechanism of transport of drugs through biological membrane the importance of the physical-chemical properties and the biopharmaceutical characteristics of the drug in the selection of its dosage form. Novel approaches to designing the most efficacious oral and non- oral dosage forms.
4) 501557 Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) (3Cr.Hr.):
This course specifically, is a practice applied to a small group of drugs in which there is a direct relation between serum drug concentration and pharmacological response, as well as, a narrow therapeutic range, on the basis of their knowledge of pharmacology and clinical pharmacokinetic. The objective of the course is to enabling the student to use serum drug concentration, and pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic to individualize and optimize patient responses to drug therapy by maintaining serum drug concentration within therapeutic range above which induced toxicity.
5) 501559 Quality Control (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course exposes the students to the current good manufacturing practice techniques of quality control of the following: the injections, solutions, suspension, emulsions, suppositories, topical preparations, transdermal therapeutic system, aerosols, and tablets. Packaging and labeling control, holding and distribution and laboratory control are to be studied. The current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) of ”Building and Facilities” as well as, “Sterile and aseptic manufacturing facilities and design”
6) 501562 Medical Parasites (1 Cr.Hr.):
This course is designed to discuss the life cycle, symptoms, pathology, pathogenesis diagnosis and antiparasitic drugs of medically important parasites.
7) 501566 Anticancer Drugs (1 Cr.Hr.):
This course provides student with an up-to-date review of the field of cancer chemotherapy, including some of the new approaches to biological treatments of cancer and potential targets for new drug design. A description of the pharmacology, mechanisms of action, toxicity, resistance mechanisms, and clinical usefulness of each class of drugs is given. Also rationale clinical uses of drugs in various types of cancer.
8) 501568 Applied Pharmacognosy (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course introduces the student into the knowledge of quality control on herbal drugs, the factors affecting production of medicinally active constituents. Also, it gives general outlines on biosynthesis of natural products and importance of study of biosynthetic pathways for therapeutic gain. The course gives detailed informations about application of chromatographic and spectral methods of analysis for the separation and identification of natural products.
9) 501578 Cosmetics and Parapharmaceuticals (2 Cr. Hr.):
This course provides the students with the study of skin, nails, hair and teeth and their products. The course also includes ingredients (surface active agents, humectants, antiseptics, preservatives, antioxidants) and manufacture of Cosmetics, as well as testing of Cosmetic ingredients for their safety evaluation.
10) 501568 Applied Pharmacognosy (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course deals with the theories and applications of modern spectroscopic methods including (FT-IR, UV, FT-NMR, MS) in analysis of the natural products. New techniques and instruments used in structure determination of the naturally occurring organic compounds will be emphasized. Also covered are modern hyphenated techniques like GC-MS, LC-MS, and LC-NMR.
11) 501522 Research Paper & Seminar (practical + theoretical) (3 Cr.Hr.):
This course gives the students an idea how to deal with a scientific problem and how to solve it (or write a review article with updated information about a specific problem). It consists of a literature review, the proper use of equipment and instruments, performing an experiments that deals with the research topic, analyzing the data obtained from the experiments, writing the dissertation and presenting a seminar about the work which is evaluated by faculty members.
12) 501587 Seminar and Term-paper (1 Cr. Hr.)
The Seminar course intends to give Pharmacy students basic and essential skills in preparing for a seminar lecture. The start point will be through advising students to select a pharmacology related topic, that fulfills the student’s interests and concerns, collecting data by accessing the library and online related databases, summarizing details and writing a term paper according the APA guidelines, preparing a poster and power point presentations according to the standard guidelines. Finally, each student will give a seminar talk for about 15 minutes in front of the class followed by a 5-10 minutes discussion.
