Hard to catch. Runs only every second year, and the calendar doesn't say which, confirm the next offering with the department before counting on it.

Where CHEM-4507 counts

Counts toward 3 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • NSCI 3-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI 4-YEAR BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE
  • NSCI HONOURS BSc IN NEUROSCIENCE

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course examines pharmacology in the context of biochemistry and organic chemistry. Topics include the discovery, design, and metabolism of drugs with a focus upon various mechanisms of action by which small organic molecule drugs serve as therapeutics for treating human diseases.

Requisite courses

CHEM-2502, or CHEM-3502 and CHEM-3503 [prerequisite(s)].
