Learning outcomes
The aims of the course are:
- introduction to genearal toxicology, mechanisms of action of toxic agents and different classes of drugs
- to study the basic mechanism chracterising toxic effect
- toxic effects of drugs and other chemicals against principals target body organs
At the end students shoul be able to know molecular mechanims of toxic effects, organ toxicity induced by chemicals and/or drugs, toxicity tests
Program
- Introduction to toxicology
- Different toxic effects and influencing factors
- Toxicokinetics and toxicogenomics
- Mechanisms of toxicity
- Individual susceptibility to toxic chemicals
- Organ toxicity: nervous system, hepatic and renal toxicity, pulmonary and cardiac toxicity, toxicity of immune system, skin toxicity
- In vitro toxicology and toxicokinetics
- Mutagenesis and Genotoxicity
- Applied pharmacology: drug toxicity and drug interaction: anti-inflammatory drugs; Cardiovascular medications;
Antihypertensive agents; Antiarrhythmic drugs; Anticoagulant drugs; Lipid-lowering agents; Cholinergic and adrenergic drugs; Antibiotics; Chemotherapeutics and biotechnological agents
In vitro and in vivo toxicity tests (Ames test; Comet tests, ect)
Lessons' slides and other material (scientific papers) will be given to students at the end of each lesson
