Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 1. Pharmaceutical expertise: Use a foundation of concepts and knowledge in health sciences and pharmaceutical sciences.
• Understand and integrate the fundamental sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, botany) involved in the specific fields of pharmaceutical sciences
• Understand compounds for pharmaceutical application regarding their chemical structures, their structure-activity relationships, their physicochemical properties, their origins (synthetic, semi-synthetic, natural), their analytical control methods and their areas of use from a therapeutic point of view.
• 2. Scientific method: Solve pharmaceutical problems using their knowledge and critical mind.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The UE approaches the problematics of natural products, aiming at giving to the future chemist general conceptual competences that will allow him <em>(i)</em> to analyze the structure of new complex molecules to replace them in a context of known structures and biosynthetic patyhways; <em>(ii)</em> to connect the pharmacological structures, activities and the traditional use of the medicinal plants; <em>(iii)</em> to understand the methods of analysis described in the monographs of Pharmacopeias.

Content of UE

The UE develops strong foundations of phytochemistry, supported by the study of active components biosyntheses; the analytical and pharmacological aspects are also deepened for the natural compounds which do not have an equivalent in traditional drugs.
