Course Content Introduction to the toxicology laboratory; Laboratory safety and general information. Demonstration: Extraction, Chromatography Demonstration :Experimental animals DUDAM visit Isolation of acidic drugs, which often cause poisoning, from biological samples, determination of basic identification tests and thin-layer chromatography. Isolation of basic drugs, which often cause poisoning, from biological samples, determination of basic identification tests and thin-layer chromatography Quantitative determination of salicylates, which are analgesic drugs that frequently cause poisoning, in biological samples by basic identification tests and qualitative and spectrophotometric methods. Quantitative determination of paracetamol, one of the analgesic drugs that frequently cause poisoning, in biological samples with basic identification tests, qualitative (cresol-ammonia test) and spectrophotometric methods. Qualitative and quantitative determination of warfarin or theophylline, which are drugs with narrow therapeutic window that frequently cause poisoning, in biological sample. Qualitative and quantitative determination of digital glycosides from cardiovascular drugs that frequently cause poisoning in biological sample. Demonstration ; Cytotoxicity assays. Demonstration ; Genotoxicity assays. DUBIT introduction (Examples of analysis with High Pressure Liquid Chromatography, Spectrophotometric Kinetic Measurement).
