Objectives
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GENERAL STRATEGIES OF DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, THE STUDY OF THE MECHANISM AND CHEMICAL-TOXICOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF DRUGS THAT AFFECT THE CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, CARDIOVASCULAR AND GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM.
THE STUDENT APPLYING THE ACQUIRED SKILLS WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN DRUGS ON A RATIONAL BASIS.
Prerequisites
STUDENTS HAVE TO KNOW ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY, ELEMENTS OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Teaching Methods
80 HOURS OF CLASSROOM LESSONS ARE PROVIDED ON ALL THE SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE.
Verification of learning
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM.THE EXAM PROVIDES FOR A PRELIMINARY WRITTEN EXAM TO AN ORAL EXAM THAT TAKES PLACE ON DIFFERENT CALENDARED DAYS. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS OF FIVE ANSWER AND IT HAS A DURATION NOT EXCEEDING 120 MINUTES AND IS
AIMED AT VERIFYING THE ABILITY TO PROPERLY APPLY THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN WRITING. THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF A 40-MINUTE DISCUSSION AIMED AT ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT ON THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS OF THE PROGRAM. THE ORAL TEST WILL ALSO ALLOW STUDENTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE LANGUAGE SKILLS AND AUTONOMOUS EXPOSURE ORGANIZATION ON THE SAME SUBJECTS WITH THEORETICAL CONTENT.
