Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to introduce the general university public to the view of the drug as its own effective molecule and to acquaint students with the path that leads to the discovery of the drug and its introduction into medical practice. From the perspective of historical development, current state, and future perspectives, the course describes the sources of biologically active molecules and how these original "lead compounds" can be improved and optimized so that they can serve as effective and safe drugs for the present and future. It also focuses on the difference between "small molecules", ie classic "chemical" drugs, and "large" molecules, so-called bio-drugs, whose importance in the treatment of serious diseases has increased significantly in recent decades. The course also describes the role of chemical, biological, mathematical, physical, computer, and other disciplines in drug development, and mentions, among other things, the use of computer modeling of potentially effective molecules and their interactions with the target structure, such as receptor or enzyme active site in virtual space. The intended "side effect" of the course is also to increase the visibility of the Faculty of Pharmacy among Faculties of MU, and also the reputation of pharmacy as a profession in society.
Výstupy z učení
After passing this course, the student will be expected to know among others:
-main moments and persons of history drug research and development in Czech, European and world context
-differences between classical "small molecule" drugs and "biologics"
-differences between original drug products and generics, and between originator products and biosimilars -meaning of the concept of the "lead compound", possible resources of them, and possible ways how to optimize them
-biomolecules that are used as drug targets (enzymes, receptors, nucleic acids...)
-basic fundamentals of mathematical, statistical, computer-aided and other rational theoretical methods used in drug design
-a basic overview of synthetic and other methods how used and experimental drugs are prepared
-and many others
