Valerius Cordus (German): first pharmacopoeia Paracelsus (1541) denounced humoral pathology, introduced new remedies. Von Hohenheim (swiss Physician): Tincture based therapy: Tr. Laudanum: tincture opium, inorganic chemicals in therapy Cinchona bark in treating malaria (1630): Spanish Explorer The first pharmacopeia was the French codex 1818 followed by 1820 US pharmacopeia. Historical Trends Edward Jenner: prophylactic immunization against small pox William Withering: digitalis for treatment of dropsy. Alexander Wood (1853): hypodermic syringe Friedrich Serturner (1783-1841): isolated narcotic alkaloid from opium and named morphine. Francois Magendie (1783-1855): studied effect of IV inj. Of drugs like ipecac, morphine, strychnine, quinine etc on animals Claude Bernard (1813-1873) and James Blake (1814-1893): gave the scientific basis of drugs effects, DRC, drug action, distribution and fate in the body and SAR. Historical Trends * Claude Bernard: Father of experimental medicine * Foundation of modern pharmacology: Credited to: Paul Ehrlich in late 19'' century, Langely, and Patan in early 20‘ century gave the concept of MOA of a drug and drug-receptor interaction. * Rudolph Buchheim (1820-1879): Father of modern Pharmacology.

History of Pharmacology Paul Ehrlich described drug-receptor binding: “Corpora non agunt nisi fixate”. P Ehrlich (1908) (“Agents do not act unless they are bound”) History of Pharmacology * In 1897, Felix Hoffman, a research chemist (Bayer and Co.) synthesized acetylsalicylic acid. * In 1971 that Sir John Vane discovered the mechanism of action of aspirin, a feat that earned him the 1981 Nobel Prize for Medicine. History of Pharmacology The modern era These, and additional advances in the fields of chemistry and physiology, lead to the birth of modern pharmacology in the latter half of the 19** century.

Pharmacology: Basics Pharmacon (drug) and Logos (Science) It is the study of sources, properties (physical and chemical), administration, absorption, metabolism, and excretion; effects (physiological and biochemicals); uses and toxicity of drugs. Materia medica: refers to medicinal materials and includes study of sources, properties, compounding, dispensing, and uses of medicinal preparations for the treatment of diseases. Pharmacognosy: Study of sources and identification (origin) of the drugs. Pharmacometrics: Study of qualitative and quantitative aspects of drug effects in lab animals. It deals with the measurement of drug responses. Metrology: The science of weights and measures used in pharmacy. Pharmacy: It refers to identification, collection, compounding, standardization and dispensing of drug so as to render it fit for administration to animal patients. Pharmacology Divisions of Pharmacology * Pharmacokinetics * Pharmacodynamics * Pharmacogenomics Pharmacokinetics * Is what the body does to the drug. * Absorption * Distribution * Metabolism * Elimination . Brand — original drug which is defended by patent and may be produced during patent term only by this pharmaceutical + _ Generic — when term of patent is discontinued the drug may be produced by different pharmaceutical companies under new product (trade) names but at the basis of original active substance (similar quantity, route of administration etc.) * All generics are much more cheaper compared to brands, that is the main reason — why they are so popular among the patients Pharmacokinetics OThe study of what the body does to a drug includes: OlAbsorbs — converts a drug into a form the body can use OMetabolizes — drug molecules are transformed into simpler products ODistributes — transporting a drug from Its site of administration to its site of action OExcretes —manner in which a drug is eliminated from the body .
