Lecture notes from Imperial College London, Medical Biosciences BSc, 2nd year, Pharmacology module 
 
PHAR 7 on antimicrobials: we will consider drugs that are used in the treatment of microbial infection, exploiting key differences in biochemistry that permit treatments with varying degrees of selectivity for their target vs man. Importantly, this is an area where pharmacologists, toxicologists, and medicinal chemists face the challenges related to treatment efficacy i.e. the drugs don’t work...

Pharmacology 8 on cancer drug therapies: In this session, we will refresh our memories about the hallmarks of cancer, before thinking about how some of those hallmarks might help us design and use pharmaceutical agents in therapy. We will be focusing on small-molecular chemotherapeutic agents, paying particular attention to their mechanism of action.

Lecture notes from Imperial College London, Medical Biosciences BSc, 2nd year, pharmacology module. 
 
Phar 9 on obesity: In this session, we will turn our attention to a different challenge: pharmaceuticals for treating obesity. We will start by defining what we mean by the term obese, before considering the fundamental causes, and pharmacologically-relevant mechanisms that contribute to obesity. 
 
Later, we will explore pharmaceuticals that are in use (or have previously been used) to treat o...
