Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The discussion of carbohydrates involves monosaccharides and disaccahrides. The chemical properties of polysaccharides will be taught too, as far as those substances are important in pharmaceutical use.
The chapter amino acids is divided into several subunits like aliphatic amino acids or aromatic amino acids to name some examples. The attention is focussed on the pharmaceutical relevance.
In addition to that, the chemical and biological impact of peptide hormons (e.g. L-thyroxine, insuline an the pharmaceutical modifications of those substances) and proteins will be taught. In general, special interest lies in the stereochemical properties of all these bio-molecules.
The lipid-subunit contains crucial types of substances like fatty acids, eikasanoids, fats and tensides. According to that, bioorganic properties of lipoids are a subject too. Lipoids are divided into terpenes and steroids. Terpenes are discussed with focus on several carotinoids and terpenoids. Furthermore, the chemical an physico-chemical properties of vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K are taught. The chapter of steroids entails the chemical and biological properties of bile acids, sterols, secosteroids, corticoid hormons and steroidglycosides.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This lecture is meant to provide basic knowledge about chemical structures as well as about chemical and physico-chemical properties of ubiquiteous components organisms are built up. This entails among others amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, lipoids, steroids and essential vitamins.
