This lecture covers the basic principles on the formulation and preformulation to optimize the therapeutic effects of drugs. Also, this course deals with the preparation and evaluation methods of various dosage forms, pharmacokinetic characteristics according to the route of administration and formulations, and properties of pharmaceutical excipients.

For the elucidation of cause and effect relationship between exposure to environmental toxic chemicals and their health effects, the comprehensive knowledge on the properties, biological interaction and their toxicity of xenobiotics are needed. In this lecture, students learn about the principles of the prevention of environmental disease.

This course deals with relationships between morphologic changes, functional alternations and clinical manifestations of diseases.

Studies on the techniques for the synthesis, separation and identification of drugs, discussion about the stereochemistry and mechanism of the reactions.

This course will cover the history of cosmetics, chemical composition and preparation methods, application and safety evaluation of various cosmetics.

This course will provide students with the relationship between cellular structure and functions, control of cellular differentiation and proliferation, metabolism and characteristics of cells and tissues.

Lecture on the principles of chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry which are widely used for the chemical structure determination of unknown compounds, and the interpretation of data.

Lecture deals with the medical terminology in English that are used in pharmaceutical fields.

This course will cover classification and functions of the food and dietary supplements that are commonly used to improve personal health.

Utilizing theoretical and methodological perspectives from social and cultural anthropology, this course is designed to explore the contextual dimensions of illicit drug use as well as other drug-related social issues.

Development process of new drug through enzyme, receptor structure, structure-activity relationships of lead compounds and introduction of the representative drugs.

Computer aided drug design using electrostatic factor, steric factor and electron density for the quantitative analysis of structure-activity relationships.

This course will cover drugs acting on smooth muscle, drugs acting in the CNS, drugs used to treat diseases of the blood, inflammation and gout, endocrine drugs, and chemotherapeutic drugs. Emphasis will be placed on chemistry, action mechanisms, drug interactions, side effects, and clinical applications of these drugs.

This lecture deals with the pharmacokinetics of drugs as concepts of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. Also it will focused on the interpretation and design of (pre)clinical pharmacokinetic studies.

This lecture deals with the characteristics of various dosage forms and pharmaceutical materials, drug transport mechanisms of each dosage form, physicochemical and storage stability of pharmaceuticals and preformulations. Particularly, it will be focused on the characteristics of common dosage forms including solid and semi-solid dosage forms, liquid dosage forms and disperse systems.

This course deals with the principles and practices of pharmaceutical operations including extraction, sterilization, drying, sizing and handling of powders, compression and encapsulation. In addition, this course covers the equipments used in unit operations and their characteristics.

Structure of the rational methods in acquiring of the newest drug information: the collecting, readjustment, reorganization, and utilization of drug information will be included.

Basic experiments on drug toxicology and pharmacological reactions of model drugs to understand the experimental purpose and reaction mechanisms. The application and practice of various formulation techniques, characterization of each formulation, and practices of dispensing techniques of drugs will be covered in this course as laboratory exercises.

To discuss the history, structure, properties, mechanism of resistance, action, and clinical aspects and laboratory techniques of antimicrobial agents.

The aims of this course is to understand physiological actions of endocrine system regulating metabolism, growth, and reproduction in human body and to learn pharmacological effects, action mechanisms, and side effects of drugs used to treat endocrine disorders.

This course will provide students with understanding of fundamental components in life, such as functions of protein, carbohydrates and lipids, together with neurotransmission and cellular signal transduction.

Toxicology deals with the fundamental principle, mechanism of toxic action, historical background, and ultimate goal to protect humans from exposure to toxic substance. Also we will study in terms of their mechanistic role during the disease process and preventive strategy.

There are plants, animals, and minerals that have been used to treat illness since the dawn of recorded history. In this lecture, we will classify those natural sources according to their pharmacological effects, and learn how to apply them to treat diseases.
