Course content
|
The students are taught the issue of therapeutic substances determination in bodily fluids for the purpose of therapy individualisation by appropriate dosage adjustment. The emphasis is put especially on drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges. The course comprises both an overview of most frequently used procedures for biological sample pretreatment, analyte separation from the sample matrix and methods for subsequent determination, and basic information on clinical aspects concerning usage of monitored drugs. Sample pretreatment techniques. Liquid-liquid extraction. Solid phase extraction. Microextraction techniques. Separation methods. Gas chromatography, GC/MS. Liquid chromatography, LC/MS. Capillary electrophoresis. Immunoanalysis. Basics of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, ADME model, pharmacodynamics. Therapeutic drug monitoring of " cancer chemotherapeutics " antibiotics " antiepileptics " antidepressants and antipsychotics " immunosupresiv drugs Pharmacogenomics basics.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to convey knowledge pertaining to therapeutic drug monitoring (a branch of clinical chemistry and pharmacology) that is concerned with monitoring of drug levels in bodily fluids for the purpose of drug therapy individualisation by appropriate dosage adjustment.
Comprehension of techniques for biological sample pretreatment and methods for separation and determination of drugs with respect to therapy individualisation by appropriate dosage adjustment. Understanding the mechanism of therapeutic effect of monitored drugs in relation to the corresponding pathology.
