PRESENTATION:

Pharmaceutical Chemistry II may be one of the most multidisciplinary subjects in the Pharmacy Degree because it encompasses contents from other previous subjects, such as Biology, Mathematics, Organic and Inorganic chemistry, among others, and it is an essential subject in the education of any pharmacist. This subject is under Chemistry in the Pharmacy Curriculum. 

The main goal of Pharmaceutical Chemistry II is to study drugs -from a chemical point of view- and the basic principles to create effective and safe drugs. To achieve this purpose, knowing the relationship between the structure of chemical compounds and their activity is required for each drug.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

This subject is based on active participation, for which different teaching and learning methodologies will be applied: Master classes (Lecturing), Flipped classroom approach, Collaborative work, Problem-based learning, Role playing and Gamification. A socio-constructivist approach will be used to teaching and learning and learner autonomy and responsibility is, therefore, essential to achieve the required tasks.
