PCEUT 499 Undergraduate Research (1-6, max. 12)
Research problems in drug disposition, drug targeting, and drug development. Prerequisite: Cumulative GPA of 2.5 and permission of the instructor.
PCEUT 501 Advanced Pharmacokinetics I (5) Ho, Shen, Unadkat
Drug absorption, distribution, excretion, metabolism, and effects in mammalian systems. Compartmental model and model-independent approaches examined. Drug disposition studied in a physiologically realistic context taking nonlinear events into account. Aimed at development of innovative methods for data analysis and evaluation in biological systems. Prerequisite: PCEUT 506 or PCEUT 532, or permission of instructor.
Instructor Course Description:
Jashvant D Unadkat
PCEUT 502 Pharmacokinetics of Drug Metabolism (4) Kunze, Levy, Thummel
Advanced study of drug metabolism pharmacokinetics. Topics emphasize linear and nonlinear metabolic clearance kinetics, metabolite kinetics, in vitro-in vivo predictions, and drug-drug interaction kinetics. Prerequisite: PCEUT 506 or permission of instructor.
PCEUT 503 Drug Transport and Delivery (5) Ho, Hu, Mao, Shen, Unadkat, Wang
Provides advance knowledge of the physico-chemical and biological concepts underlying in vivo transport and delivery of drugs. Prerequisite: PCEUT 506.
PCEUT 506 Pharmacokinetic Principles (6) Isoherranen
Covers the fundamentals of pharmacokinetics. Includes lectures and laboratory exercises on the key concepts in pharmacokinetics, including compartmental kinetics, clearance, protein binding, bioavailability, pharmacodynamics, clinical pharmacokinentics, and Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
Instructor Course Description:
Danny D Shen
PCEUT 510 Drug Interactions (3) Collins, Horn, Shen, Thummel
Presents common pharmacokinetic mechanisms underlying the clinically important interactions between drugs, and patient- and drug-related factors that predispose patients to adverse drug interactions. Discusses approaches to clinical evaluation and management of the risk of drug-drug interactions. Prerequisite: PCEUT 532 or equivalent.
PCEUT 513 Basic Concepts in Pharmacogenetics and Toxicogenomics (3) Eaton, Thummel
Addresses current DNA sequencing and genotyping approaches, and basic concepts of pharmacogenetics and toxicogenomics. Emphasis placed on applications of genomic technologies to the understanding of "gene-environment interactions" that cause diseases of public health importance, including cancer, chronic neurological diseases, and adverse drug reactions. Prerequisite: GENET 372 or equivalent. Offered: jointly with ENV H 513/PHG 513.
PCEUT 520 Seminar (1, max. 30) Kelly
Graduate students attend seminars and make one formal presentation per year while in residence; maximum of three presentations. Credit/no credit only. Offered: jointly with MEDCH 520.
PCEUT 531 P-Pharmaceutical Formulation: Principles and Dosage Forms (4) Bloedow, Lee, Link,Mao
Physiochemical principles involved in formulating stable dosage forms suitable for human administration. Hands-on laboratory experience with formulating extemporaneous preparations routinely encountered in community and hospital pharmacies.
PCEUT 532 P-Clinical Pharmacokinetics (5) Anderson, Levy, Isoherranen
Basic principles of pharmacokinetics and their application to the clinical setting, including: single-dose intravenous and oral kinetics, multiple dosing, nonlinear pharmacokinetics, metabolite kinetics, pharmacogenetics, and the role of disease in drug clearance and dose requirements, and kinetics of drug-drug interactions. Prerequisite: PCEUT 531.
PCEUT 533 P-Biopharmaceutics and Drug Delivery (3) Ho, Levy, Shen, Thummel
Basic principles of biopharmaceutics and drug delivery, and their application to therapeutics including oral and non-oral route of drug administration for traditional and biotechnology drugs. Fundamental principles related to assessment of bioavailability and bioequivalence, drug-drug and food-drug interactions for orally administered drugs. Prerequisite: PCEUT 532.
