Course Objectives6 points
  • The objectives of this course are to:
  • Provide comprehensive knowledge of drugs acting on the central nervous system, including anesthetics, sedatives, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants, with emphasis on their chemical classification and structure activity relationships (SAR).
  • Familiarize students with anti-infective chemotherapeutic agents used against tuberculosis, malaria, protozoal, viral, fungal, helminthic, and urinary tract infections, including their chemical structures and SAR.
  • Impart understanding of antibiotics and sulfa drugs, focusing on their chemical classes, mechanisms, therapeutic relevance, and structure activity relationships.
  • Introduce antineoplastic agents and endocrine drugs, highlighting their chemical nature, classification, therapeutic applications, and structure activity correlations.
  • Develop knowledge of antidiabetic agents and narcotic analgesics, including opioid antagonists, with emphasis on medicinal chemistry principles and SAR of key drug classes.
Course Outcomes (COs)5 outcomes

After completion of the course student will be able to:

  1. CO1Classify and explain the chemistry, therapeutic use, and structure activity relationships of drugs acting on the central nervous system, including anesthetics, sedatives, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants.
  2. CO2Describe the chemical classification, mechanism of action, and SAR of major anti-infective agents such as antituberculars, antimalarials, antivirals, antifungals, anthelmintics, and urinary tract anti-infectives.
  3. CO3Analyze the chemistry and SAR of antibiotics and sulfonamides and correlate structural features with antimicrobial activity and spectrum of action.
  4. CO4Explain the chemical basis, therapeutic significance, and SAR of antineoplastic agents and endocrine drugs used in cancer and hormonal disorders.
  5. CO5Interpret the chemistry, pharmacological relevance, and SAR of antidiabetic agents and narcotic analgesics, including opioid agonists and antagonists, for rational drug use and development.
