END OF 17TH CENTURY
END OF 17TH CENTURY:
mechanisms of actions of drugs was prevented due to:
○ Absence of methods to purify active agents from crude materials
○ Lack of methods for testing hypotheses about the nature of drug actions
LATE 18TH AND EARLY 19TH CENTURIES:
developed methods of experimental physiology and pharmacology
Francois Magendie and his student Claude Bernard
laid the foundation needed for understanding how drugs work at the organ and cellular levels
LATE 18TH AND EARLY 19TH CENTURIES
LATE 18TH AND EARLY 19TH CENTURIES:
These advances were also accompanied by unscientific claims by manufacturers and marketers of worthless “_________”
patent medicines
LATE 18TH AND EARLY 19TH CENTURIES:
Introduction of rational therapeutics (______) about 60 years ago help evaluate therapeutic claims
controlled clinical trial
Use of receptor identification methods led to the discovery of orphan receptors

1940s AND 1950s
Receptors for which no ligand has been discovered and whose function can only be guessed
orphan receptors
T/F: Receptors and effectors do not function in isolation; they are strongly influenced by other receptors and by companion regulatory proteins
true
short nucleotide chains
antisense oligonucleotides (ANOs)
short nucleotide chains that synthesized to be complementary to natural RNA or DNA, can interfere with the readout of genes and the transcription of RNA
antisense oligonucleotides (ANOs)
The discovery that small segments of RNA can interfere with protein synthesis with extreme selectivity has led to investigation of ______ and _____
small interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
microRNAs (miRNAs) as therapeutic agents
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOLOGY:
T/F: All substances can under certain circumstances be toxic
TRUE
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOLOGY:
Chemicals in botanicals like _______ are no different from chemicals in manufactured drugs except for the much greater proportion of impurities in botanicals
herbs and plant extracts
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOLOGY
All _____ supplements and all _____ promoted as health enhancing should meet the same standards of efficacy and safety as conventional drugs and medical therapies
dietary and therapies
Body of knowledge concerned with the action of chemicals on biologic systems
Pharmacology
Pharmacology is by binding to ________ (receptors) and activating or inhibiting normal body processes
regulatory molecules
Pharmacology and toxicology are ______.
intertwined
chemical substances that are able to affect our function or physiology
Pharmacology
it is how the drug is introduced to our body or system
Pharmacokinetics
The end of pharmacokinetics is that the
drug will be able to reach or bind with its
target receptor
- Pharmacology
- Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics
On the other hand, once the drug binds to its
receptor, it will produce its effect, and this is the realm of ______.
- Pharmacology
- Pharmacokinetics
- Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics
studies the effect of the drug to the body

Drugs are produced to give the intended effects which are ___________
“therapeutic effects”
excessive doses of the drug can also cause ”________ ”
toxic effects
The actions if chemicals can be divided into 2 large domains
