Course Overview
Organic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry will deal with topics important
for understanding and appreciating the chemistry and properties of medical
substances of heterocyclic and polycyclic structures. The course covers material
related to properties, nomenclature and pharmaceutical importance the principle
and theory of structure activity relationship are also covered with emphasis on
optical, geometrical and conformational isomerism.
In addition this course is designed to incorporate a number of experiments for the
synthesis of certain drugs which are included in the theoretical course of organic
medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. The experiments are intended to train the
undergraduate pharmacy students to use different chemical reactions and various
analytical methods for preparation and assay of some representative drugs of
different classes and also to meet the students need for a concise skill on practical
organic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.
Course Objectives
The discipline of medicinal chemistry is devoted to the discovery and development
of new agents for treating disease. The aim of this course is to study the
relationship between drug chemistry and pharmacological action so that translate
the drug structural formula into therapeutic effect. In addition concentrate on the
methods of preparation of some pharmaceutical agents, therefore supply
pharmacists and other medical faculties with broad area of knowledge about drugs
in order to treat disease and look for further researches in this field.

ii. Tardy:
Do not come late to class. Any student coming late will not be allowed to attend the class
and he/ she will marked absent.
iii. Exam:
Failure in attending a course exam will result in zero mark unless the student provides an
excuse acceptable to the Dean who approves a re-sit exam. Failed courses will normally
be reassessed in the scheduled semester. It is your responsibility to attend the exam at the
correct time and place.
iv. Exam attendance/ punctuality:
In the event that a student is up to ten minutes late, he/ she will be permitted to attend/ sit
the exam. However, there will not be any extra time allowances made in favor of this
student.
In the event that a student is more that 10 minutes late, he/ she
will not be permitted to attend the exam.

vi. Cheating:
Cheating is an attempt to gain marks dishonestly and includes:
1. Copying from another student‟s work.
2. Using material not authorized by the institute.
3. Collaboration with another student during a test, without permission.
4. Knowingly using, buying, selling, or stealing the contents of a test.
5. Plagiarism which means presenting another person‟s work or ideas as one‟ own,
without attribution.
vii. Penalty of cheating:
The minimum penalty for cheating is an automatic Zero for the test or assignment leading
to a possible “F” for the subject. The student will be expelled from the examination room
so that he/ she doesn‟t disturb other students. The exam invigilator will produce a report
on the case. The report will be kept in the student file. A second offense will result in the
immediate suspension of the student for the remainder of the current semester. A copy of
the decision will be kept in the student file, while another one will be passed to the Dean.
viii. Mobile phones, palm personal computers (PCs) and anything related
to the subject of exam are not allowed in classes during examinations.

Q- Talk briefly about the types of antagonisms.
Answer:
There are three types of antagonisms:
1- Physiological antagonism, e.g., adrenaline that antagonize biological action of histamine.
2- Pharmacological antagonism, e.g., ondansetrone that antagonize action of serotonine at
the site of action:5-HT3 receptor
3- Chemical antagonism, e.g., antacid drugs that antagonize and neutralize action of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Course Overview : Community Pharmacy allows students to enhance their ability to provide pharmaceutical care to
patients in a community pharmacy setting. Pharmacotherapeutic knowledge and clinical skills
are integrated with routine medication dispensing activities. The primary focus is patient
assessment, counseling and education, medication therapy and disease state management, and
documentation of patient information and interventions. During the course, the student will be
exposed to the clinical activities of the community pharmacy setting, with the focus placed upon
a patient care approach. The student will learn the goals of clinical intervention and the steps
necessary to effectively execute those interventions. Evaluating and solving drug related
problems, patient interaction, and acting as a primary health care source will be stressed. The
course introduces students to non prescription medications and their appropriate use. Students
will gain skills in assessing the patient‟s physical complaints and signs/symptoms, determining
conditions that require medical attention versus self-treatment, aiding in the proper selection of
product, advising about appropriate use of products, and monitoring nonprescription drug
therapy. An overview of pathophysiology, etiology, signs and symptoms, treatment approach
including, patient counseling, is presented.
The course is theoriticall. By the end of course the student will be able to get knowledge wether
patient can be managed by the pharmacist (give drug of choice) or should be referred to the
physician.
Course objectives Course Objective
Establish, maintain, and utilize patient histories and profiles in order to monitor and evaluate drug
therapy as well as identify, prevent, and resolve drug-related problems.
Interview, counsel and educate patients in an effective and professional manner.
Communicate with various health professionals in an effective and professional manner.
Document patient information and interventions.
Search, gather, and evaluate information from appropriate sources to answer drug information
questions.
Perform basic physical examination of a patient (e.g., blood pressure and heart rate measurement,
blood glucose testing).
Evaluate patient subjective and objective information to appropriately manage patients‟ drug therapy
and health problems/disease states.
Develop effective communication skills (written and oral) with patients, pharmacy staff, and health
care professionals
Educate patients about disease state goals,and demonstrate appropriate physical assessment skills
