Courses Description 

511 Course (Mechanism of Biopharmaceutical Chemistry) (3 + 0)

This course is designed to provide the student with an opportunity to learn about the developments in the mechanism of pharmacological effect. The course includes a number of chemical reactions of drugs with enzymes and biological receptors, in addition to the importance of theالكيمياء الفراغية of these reactions. The different methods and approaches used in the study of mechanics and the relationship of Stereochemistry to the medicine effect are also studied

512 course (Modern Construction Interactions)(2 + 2)

This course includes the study of modern chemical reactions of the organic and mechanical compounds of their interaction, focusing on the structural reactions directly related to the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds. The practical part of this course includes the practical uses of chemical reactions to construct some pharmaceutical compounds and how to identify them by different

This course includes the study of modern chemical reactions of the organic and mechanical compounds of their interaction, focusing on the structural reactions directly related to the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds. The practical part of this course includes the practical uses of chemical reactions to construct some pharmaceutical compounds and how to identify them by different physiochemical methods such as Infrared and infrared spectroscopy, as well as nuclear magnetic resonance.

514 Course (Advanced Spectroscopy of Organic Compounds) (2 + 1)

It includes studying the foundations and methods of analyzing organic compounds and identifying their structural formulas using nuclear magnetic resonance, Mass and infrared spectroscopy and one of the most important objectives of this course is to assist in developing the ability to analyze spectra and use that information in determining structural compositions.

523 Course (Analysis Separation Methods)(2+1)

The course is designed to study the different types of fluid Chromotography with emphasis on high-performance fluid chromatography, recent developments in this field and its applications in the quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds.

527 course (Kinetics for Drug Analysis) (2 + 1)

The course examines the theoretical and experimental aspects of kinetic chemistry. Kinetic variables such as reaction visibility, reaction rate constant and activation energy are studied. In addition, the course is concerned with using kinetic methods in quantitative analysis and clarifying the relationship between the kinetics of the reaction and its mechanism.

591 Course (Pharmacy References) (1 + 0)

This course examines the different methods of obtaining office information related to the pharmaceutical and medical sciences, and the methods of dealing with that information.

)526 PHC Course (Specialized Topics in Pharmaceutical Analysis) (3 + 0)

The course includes selected topics of special interest or new topics in the field of pharmaceutical analysis.

528 PHC Course (Environmental Analysis) (2 + 1)

The environmental analyzes (quality assurance and periodic analyzes) have a direct impact on the health care program. In view of the presence of many environmental pollutants, whether organic or inorganic, in very small quantities, it is necessary to use sensitive and highly specific analytical methods by following micron and sub-micron analytical methods, especially those that do not require pre-separation of materials and elements to be identified and / or analyzed. This course gives the opportunity to shed light on some of the most important analytical techniques applied in this field
