The pathophysiological processes that underlie diseases and the relevant basic anatomy and physiology. 2. The binding sites of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the body, down to a molecular level. 3. The processes and factors that a play role in the route of administration and biological action of medicines and the pharmacon released in the body. 4. The chemical and physicochemical properties and analysis of low and high-molecular-weight active pharmaceutical ingredients and auxiliary pharmaceutical substances. 5.
