Rationale: The aim of the course is to provide the
students with the knowledge of Nature of the cell
membrane, passage of drugs across cell membranes, various mechanisms, factors
affecting drug absorption- physicochemical, physiological and pharmaceutical,
routes of drug administration. The course will also provide the students purpose
of bioavailability studies, relative and absolute availability, methods for
assessing bioavailability, measures of bioequivalence study and single dose
bioequivalence study and relevant statistics, review of regulatory requirements
for conducting bioequivalence study.
Course
objectives:
The prime objective of
this course is to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of applying
advanced approaches of functional areas of pharmacokinetics in a molecular
level. In this course students will be exposed with the real-life
scenarios through solving relevant cases and interfacing real situations
related to the understanding of the applications of the principles of the basic
concepts of design of
new active drug moieties, manufacture of novel drug products, and drug delivery
systems.
