Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

4.8K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

1.6K
Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Pharmacodynamics: Overview and Principles

3.7K
Pharmacodynamics is a scientific field that delves into drugs' intricate biochemical, cellular, and physiological effects on the human body. The study of pharmacodynamics helps us understand how drugs interact with the body and elicit various responses.
Most drugs' effects result from their interactions with drug receptors or targets within the body. These interactions trigger specific responses at the cellular or systemic level. Drug receptors can be found on the surfaces of cells or...

Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

6.3K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Biopharmaceutical Factors Influencing Drug Product Design: Overview

389
Rational drug product design integrates knowledge of the drug’s physicochemical properties, formulation components, manufacturing techniques, and intended route of administration. Each factor influences the drug’s performance, including how it is released, absorbed, and eliminated in the body.The physicochemical properties of a drug—such as solubility, stability, and particle size—affect its compatibility with excipients and the choice of dosage form. Excipients, though...

Fundamental Mathematical Principles in Pharmacokinetics: Mathematical Expressions and Units

1.7K
Mathematical principles play a crucial role in pharmacokinetics, providing a framework for understanding and quantifying drug distribution and elimination dynamics in the body. By utilizing mathematical expressions and units, pharmacologists can accurately characterize the behavior of drugs, optimize dosing regimens, and predict therapeutic outcomes.
One significant application of mathematics in pharmacokinetics is the characterization of drug distribution through the volume of distribution...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Integrating basic and clinical sciences is a key curricular trend in pharmacy education.
  • Understanding the current status and faculty perspectives on this integration is crucial for effective curriculum design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current state of integrated basic and clinical science courses in US pharmacy programs.
  • To explore faculty perceptions regarding the implementation and impact of these integrated courses.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 132 Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs, achieving an 85% response rate.
  • Quantitative data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
  • Qualitative data from open-ended comments underwent thematic analysis using the constant comparison method.

Main Results:

  • 70% of responding programs (112 out of 132) reported offering integrated basic and clinical science courses.
  • Integration models varied, including fully merged content, coordinated delivery, and integrated laboratories.
  • Faculty perceptions were generally positive, highlighting benefits alongside challenges and opportunities.

Conclusions:

  • Significant variation exists in the design and execution of integrated pharmacy curricula across US programs.
  • Faculty training and engagement are critical factors for the successful implementation of curricular integration.
  • Addressing faculty buy-in and providing adequate training can enhance the effectiveness of integrated science courses.
