Pharmaceutical Chemistry is the course that teaches the fundamental science behind all of the commercially available drugs. It's an extremely important course, but also one that some students find challenging. If you need a little boost to reach your academic expectations, Varsity Tutors can refer you to a Pharmaceutical Chemistry tutor who can help you work toward your goals.
Here is some of what you can look forward to discussing during college Pharmaceutical Chemistry tutoring sessions:
- Properties, Structure, and Analysis of Metabolites and Other Pharmaceutical Agents
- Drug Discovery and Development Process
- Organic Functional Groups in Drug Molecules
- Drug-Target Interactions
- Chemistry of OTC (Over-The-Counter) Inorganic Drugs
- Impact of a Drug's Chemical Structure on Metabolic Rate
- Neurochemistry
- Chromatographic Analyses
If you are struggling to remember which compounds are effective treatments for which maladies, your Pharmaceutical Chemistry tutor may create flashcards to make it easier to visualize the information. Likewise, diagrams of a compound's chemical structure may make it easier to picture how it works in the body. Active reading skills may also come in handy when reviewing scientific literature. For example, jotting down notes when reviewing a new study may make it easier to convey that information to your colleagues and/or patients. Note-taking can also be a great way to remember any questions you may want to bring up during your next Pharmaceutical Chemistry tutoring session. If your course involves any sort of research assignment, highlighting important information now may make subsequent research much easier as well.
