Department carries out teaching in next ways:

Сhemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, secondary education "Chemistry" and pharmacy.

Graduates of the department work as researchers, lecturers of secondary and higher education institutions, employees of analytical departments of Ukrainian and international pharmaceutical corporations, forensic medical expertise specialists, representatives of drug and health care product manufacturing companies, pharmacists, managers in the medical and pharmaceutical field.

The main scientific directions:

The fields of Department stuff deal with actual problems of natural and synthetic biologicaly active substances, studying of their pharmacological properties as well as development of drug forms.

Phytochemicalanalysis of plant raw matherials, identification of biologicaly active compounds as potential pharmacotherapeutic agents for different pathologies. Optimisation of extraction process, development of technological conditions for drug forms manufacturing with components combination optimization.

The studies of the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and wound-healing activity of dosage forms based on biologically active substances from medicinal plant materials in various models are conducted.

One of the directions is the study of bioenergetics and radiation biochemistry, as well as the state of aerobic energy metabolism of the body under conditions of prolonged restriction of motor activity - hypokinesia, which is a risk factor in the development of most diseases of modern man.

During the existence of the Department, graduates and employees of the department prepared 19 PhD and 5 doctoral dissertations.

Awards for scientific activity received:

• PhD Alona A. Kobernik - The Scholarship of Cabinet on Ministers for Young Scientists (from 01/10/2014 to 30/11/2016).
• Postgraduate student Nesterkina Mariya Volodymyrivna - The Scholarship of Cabinet on Ministers for Young Scientists (from 01/10/2016 to 30/11/2018).

Several pages of the department’s history:

The specialists training in the field of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was started at the chemical department of University since 1993. In March 1997 the Ministry of education granted the right to Odessa I.I. Mechnikov University for specialists education in the specialty of “Pharmaceutical Chemistry”.
In 1997, with the joint order of Ukrainian NAS President and Ukrainian Minister of Education the Pharmaceutical Chemistry teaching and scientific-industrial complex was founded (CP ESIC), within this complex the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was opened. The head of CP ESIC and Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry was appointed academician of NAS of Ukraine, doctor of sciences in chemistry, professor Andronati Sergey Andreevich.

The Chemical-Pharmaceutical Educational-Scientific-industrial Complex (СPh ESIC) includes the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Problematic Research Laboratory No. 5 of Odessa University, the Department of Medical Chemistry, Molecular Structure, Analytical Chemistry and Physico-Chemistry of Coordination Compounds, Physico-Chemical Pharmacology, Chemical Thermodynamics and Theoretical Chemistry, as well as SLC « Interchim ”, which was created by the Physico-Chemical Institute NAS of Ukraine and specializes in the manufacturing and distribution of medicines.
From July 1, 2019 the department was renamed from the Department of pharmaceutical chemistry to the Department of pharmacology and technology of drugs (Order No. 72-02, dated 31.07.2019). On August 1, 2019, the head of the department of pharmacology and drug technology was appointed doctor of medical sciences, prof. Gritsuk A.I. (Order No. 1745-18, dated July 26, 2019).
