Pharmaceutical Biology and Pharmacology
Profile :
The Pharmaceutical Biology Laboratory is located on the 2nd floor of the Integrated Laboratory, Campus 3 of UAD. The laboratory manages education, teaching, research and scientific development related to pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacognosy, analysis of traditional medicine, phytochemistry and microbiology. The laboratory manages 2 laboratory units, namely:
- Pharmaceutical Biology Laboratory
The Pharmaceutical Biology Laboratory is a laboratory for Pharmacognosy, Phytochemistry, Traditional Medicine Analysis and Microbiology Practicums. Apart from that, the laboratory is also used for research activities related to the development of medicinal substances from plants/ animals/ microorganisms that play a role in the prevention, maintenance and therapy of a disease. Practicums and research activities that can be carried out in this laboratory are:
- Identification of medicinal plants, both macroscopic and microscopic,
- Extract creation,
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants,
- Microbiological testing and biotechnological application techniques in the pharmaceutical field.
2. Pharmacology Laboratory
The Pharmacology and Toxicology Laboratory is a laboratory for Pharmacology practicum activities and pre-clinical research on pharmacological effects, toxic effects and pharmacokinetics of drugs/ medicinal substances from plants or animals using test animals such as mice, guinea pigs or rabbits. Practicum and research activities that can be carried out in this laboratory include:
- Analgesic test
- Anti-inflammatory test
- Antipyretic test
- anti-diarrheal and laxative tests
- hepatoprotective effect test
- Anti-diabetic test
- Anti-hypercholesterolemic test
- Anti-cancer test
- Anti-hypertensive test
- Anti-dementia test
- Typical and atypical toxicity test
- determination of the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug/ drug substance
