It introduces the general classes of medicinal compounds, their biosynthesis and function, their purification and analysis, and clinical applications. The unit introduces the pharmacology of specific biologically derived compounds, thereby building upon the knowledge of drug action developed in BVB212. It provides a deeper understanding of the broader technical, social, cultural, and legal challenges in the transition from discovery to application via focused evaluation of existing/emerging global health challenges. The ability to critically evaluate scientific literature, synthesise information, and write effectively is further developed in this unit. This unit develops a broad range of knowledge and practical skills of direct relevance to natural product chemistry, plant science, botany, and allied health.","title-full":"BVB221 Nature's Pharmacy","title-short":"Nature's Pharmacy","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=BVB221&year=2024","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=BVB221","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=BVB221"},"year":2024,"years":[2024]}
