Drug metabolism course presents the principles of drug metabolism on a broad-based level. topics include in-depth discussions of phase i and ii biotransformation pathways, pharmacogenetics, biotransformation and toxicity, in vitro/in vivo techniques for evaluating drug metabolism and scale-up of drug metabolism data. in addition, the course is designed to help students to understand the requirements for drug metabolism during the drug discovery and development processes.
7303405	Synthesis of Drugs	3	7303110 or 7303301
The course is designed for undergraduate students that have passed successfully the medicinal chemistry i and ii courses and have already completed a basic course in organic chemistry. the course will cover different methods to evaluate the structure of a target molecule through the retro-synthetic approach of that structure, and the strategies that can proceed for efficiently synthesizing that structure. the course will also cover the variety of tactics that can be employed for achieving the synthetic goal. at the completion of the course each student will demonstrate his/her mastery of these concepts by applying them to a complex and novel structure that has not yet succumbed to laboratory synthesis. every student will randomly be given a different target molecule, with each structure presenting its own unique challenges. the student will derive a strategy for the synthesis of the target molecule and will then outline and justify a plan for its synthesis from readily-available starting materials using all available tactics.
7303406	Phytotherapy	2
This course focuses on evidence based phytogenic compounds which have therapeutic or physiological effects on the human body systems (git, cvs, cns, endocrine system, respiratory system ,reproductive system and others)

The course focuses on drug synthesis strategy and synthesis methodology, mainly within the pharmaceutical field and of organic-chemical reaction mechanisms. this course will cover new synthetic methods, parallel synthesis and synthetic strategies followed in drug development and sar investigation. the laboratory will also include identification of organic compounds by means of different spectroscopic methods (ir, ms and nmr).
7303914	Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology	3	7309205 or 7304301
Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is an emerging frontier in nanotechnology. it integrates materials science, chemical science, physics and life science toward the biological and medical applications. in this course, nanofabrication and the interaction between nanostructured materials and biological system are addressed. through introducing the vital information on application of nanotechnology, this course presents how to design and develop nano-devices for the applications of pharmaceuticals and healthcare. typical applications include nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, nano-based imaging and diagnostic systems, nanotoxicology, tissue engineering, gene therapy and translating nanomedicines into clinical investigation.
7304403	Pharmaceutical Excepients	2	7304301
Pharmaceutical excipients are an essential part of pharmaceutical technology responsible of providing good quality pharmaceutical formulation. usually all pharmaceutical dosage forms contain one or more than one pharmaceutical excipients. excipients make compounding design easier and perform a wide range of functions in order to obtain the desired properties for the finished dosage form. this course focuses on excipient development and functionality, including their uses, properties and safety.
7304404	Pharmaceutical Sterilization	2	7304301
Sterilization is an essential part of pharmaceutical technology which is responsible of providing good quality pharmaceutical formulation intended for parenteral and ophthalmic preparations. students are acquainted with the most used sterilization conditions in the field of industry. during the course, a visit to a pharmaceutical or hospital is expected.
7304502	Pharmacokinetics (lab.)	1	7304501
This is a workshop and a lab course. it is concerned with the application of pharmacokinetics parameters in addition to solution of some practical problems and pharmaceutical overlapping.
7304505	Biotechnology Products	3	7304302
This course deals with molecular and genetic biochemical technology with emphasis on medical uses of drugs manufactured by the biotechnological methods. this course will also deal with diseases treated with gene therapy.
7305551	Immune Pharmacogenomic Course	2	7109306
This course explores the intersection of pharmacogenomics and immunology, focusing on the genetic factors that influence immune responses and drug efficacy. designed for pharmacy students, the course examines the role of genetic variations in immune-related diseases, the metabolism of immunomodulatory drugs, and the personalization of immunotherapy.key topics include the pharmacogenomics of cytokines, immune checkpoints, and monoclonal antibodies; the genetic basis of hypersensitivity reactions; and the application of genomic data in tailoring treatments for autoimmune disorders, cancers, and infectious diseases. students will also explore cutting-edge approaches such as crispr technology and genome-wide association studies (gwas) in the development of immune-targeted therapies.by the end of the course, students will have the knowledge and skills to integrate pharmacogenomic principles into clinical decision-making, contributing to the advancement of precision medicine in immunology and pharmacy practice.
