  • Obiettivi: Students will learn the main examples already implemented in clinical practice of Principles of pharmacokinetics: routes of administration and absorption of drugs. Distribution, biotransformation and excretion of drugs. Drug interactions. Principles of pharmacodynamics: drug-receptor interaction, agonists and antagonists, allosteric modulators. Classification of receptors, adaptive responses to drugs. Mechanisms underlying signal transduction pathways. Voltage- dependent and voltage-independent ion channels. Intercellular transmission: glutamate, GABA, acetylcholine, catecholamines, serotonin, nitric oxide, cannabinoids, opioid peptides. Basic principles of normal and pathological synaptic plasticity. Principles of cellular and molecular toxicology. Drug addiction. Pharmacogenomics biomarkers, evaluating their clinical validity and clinical utility and related regulatory issues. Another aim will be to understand the role of pharmacogenetics in the development of new drugs.
