Course Objectives: | It aims to give the Basic concepts of toxicology to Faculty of Pharmacy students; factors affecting toxicity; the fate of xenobiotics in the body; It aims to provide students with sufficient theoretical knowledge about the general principles and application areas of toxicology about the damages of drugs and chemical, biological and physical factors to the biological system and the investigation of these damages at the macro and molecular level, and the change in response to drugs due to genetic factors. |
Course Content: | The content of the course includes Dose, Lethal Dose, LD50, Therapeutic Index, Minimum Therapeutic Dose, Entry Routes of Poisons into the Body, Toxicity studies (Acute, Subacute, Chronic intoxication), dose-response relationship, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, factors and mechanisms affecting toxicity, biotransformation reactions and toxicity relationship; carcinogenesis; mutation, teratogenesis, and genetic toxicology. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Knows toxicity mechanisms. 2) Evaluates the metabolism of drug substance. 3) Evaluates the product for toxicity and patient safety. 4) Learns concepts such as chemical carcinogens, mutagen agents, teratogenesis mechanism, Pharmacogenomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics. |
