Presentation Transcript

  1. Medical Chemistry An extraordinary subject Applied chemistry for MEDICAL STUDENTS

  2. It spans from: • General Chemistry • Inorganic Chemistry • Analytical Chemistry • Organic Chemistry To: • Biochemistry • Physiology • Pharmacology

  3. Organization of our curriculum • General chemistry (physical chemistry) (McMurray, Fay: Chemistry, 4th Edition; Darrel D. Ebbing: General Chemistry) All other similar texbooks can be used

  4. Organic and bioorganic chemistry (P. Gergely: Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry For Medical Students, 3rd Edition) Analytical Chemistry: Practices and seminars only! (G. Oszbach: Laboratory Experiments in Medical Chemistry, 1998)

  5. Bioinorganic Chemistry: Obligatory subject (P. Gergely: Introduction to Bioinorganic Chemistry for Medical Students) Elective course (2 credits) (W. Kaim, B. Schwederski: Bioinorganic Chemistry: Inorganic Elements in the Chemistry of Life)

  6. Laboratory Safety Chemistry laboratory can be a DANGEROUS PLACE to work in Eye safety: ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses or goggles

  7. Further rules and regulations will be discussed on the first meeting with lab instructors: Group 1: Dr. Zoltán Berente Group 2: Dr. Veronika Nagy Group 3: Ms. Erika Turcsi Group 4: Dr. Veronika Nagy Group 5: Dr. Tamás Lóránd Group 6: Dr. Attila Agócs Group 7-8: Dr. László Márk

  8. Intranet • Medical Chemistry lectures and exam samples can be found at the following link: http://intranet.pote.hu/OKTATAS/biokemia/medical_chemistry.html

  9. Chemistry The science that is concerned with the characterization, composition, and transformations of matter

  10. Development of modern chemistry 1. Practical arts(-to 600 B.C.) Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia • Production of metals from ores • Manufacture of Pottery • Brewing, baking • Preparation of medicines, drugs and dyes 2. Greek (600 B.C. to 300 B.C.) • Concept of four elements (earth, air, fire, water) • Atomic theory

  11. 3. Alchemy (300 B.C. to 1650 A.D.) Alexandria, Arabs • Chemical apparatus, laboratory operations • Philosopher’s stone, elixir of life • Iatrochemistry (a branch of alchemy concerned with medicine) 4. Phlogiston (1650 to 1790) Combustion: wood + oxygen gas (from air) ashes + oxygen containing gases According to the phlogiston theory: wood ashes + phlogiston (removed by air) WOOD = ASHES + PHLOGISTON

  12. 5. Modern Chemistry (1790- ) Antoine Lavoisier • Laws of chemistry • Modern terminology

  13. Main branches of chemistry Analytical chemistry: separation, identification, and composition of materials Organic chemistry: chemistry of the carbon compounds Inorganic chemistry: chemistry of the compounds other than carbon compounds Physical chemistry: study of the physical characteristics of materials and mechanisms of their reactions Biochemistry: chemistry of living systems Nuclear chemistry: chemistry of subatomic particles and nuclear reactions
