There are many ways that drug-resistant infections can be prevented: immunization, safe food preparation, handwashing, and using antibiotics as directed and only when necessary. In addition, preventing infections also prevents the spread of resistant bacteria.The main cause of antibiotic resistance is antibiotic use. When we use antibiotics, some bacteria die but resistant bacteria can survive and even multiply. The overuse of antibiotics makes resistant bacteria more common. The more we use antibiotics, the more chances bacteria have to become resistant to them.
Penicillin, one of the first and still one of the most widely used antibiotic agents, is derived from the penicillium mold. In 1928 Scottish bacteriologist alexander fleming in a contaminated green mold penicillium notatum. He isolated the mold, grew it in a fluid medium, and found that it produced a substance capable of killing many of the common bacteria that infect humans. Australian pathologist howard florey and British biochemist ernst Boris chain isolated and purified penicillin in the late 1930s, and by 1941 an injectable form of the drug was available for therapeutic use.

Collision-Induced Dissociation (CID) technique
MASS:-
A high-resolution, hybrid tandem mass spectrometer was used to obtain CID spectra. The CID spectra were acquired by:
Mass selecting the precursor ions using the first mass spectrometer.
Injecting the ions into the first quadrupole (collision cell) where they undergo CID.
Mass-analyzing the fragment ions produced using the second quadrupole.
Argon was used as the collision gas, and the pressure in the collision cell was adjusted to attenuate the precursor ion intensity to 20-50% of the original intensity. The collision energy of the ions ranged from 160 to 180 eV. The mass spectra shown abundant fragmentations at m/z 160 and m/z 176 that were reported to arise from cleavage of the β-lactam ring.
protonated benzyl penicillin exhibits abundant fragment ions at m/z 160, m/z 176, m/z 217, m/z 128, and m/z 289. The most abundant CID fragment at m/z 160 and the molecular ion peak was observed at m/z 334.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Eicosanoids are 20-Carbon compounds. They are synthesized in mast
cells and are potent regulators of cellular functions.
Eicosanoids are produced from Arachidonic Acid, a 20-Carbon
polyunsaturated fatty acid (5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid).
The Eicosanoids are considered as autotcoids.
They act on the cells close to their site of production. Also k/a local
harmone.
They are rapidly degraded.
They are mainly classified in-
Prostaglandins
Leukotrienes
Thromboxanes.
EICOSANOIDS
4. PROSTAGLANDINS
1st discovered in human serum in 1930, were found to be stimulate
uterine contraction and reduce pressure.
Presumed to be synthesized by prostate gland hence the name.
Later found that synthesized in all tissue except erythrocytes.
It have a cyclopentane ring (formed from 8 to 12 carbon atoms) and two
side chains, with carboxyl group on one side.
They differ In their structure due to substituent group double bond on
cyclopentane ring.
Prostaglandins are structurally resemble with prostanoic acid, 20-
carbon fatty acid.
5. Abbreviated as PG, with the class designated by a capital letter
A,B,D,E,F,G,H and I, followed by a number.
PGE and PGF; 1st isolated from the biological fluids.
The letters refer to the different ring structure, except in PGG and PGH:
same ring structure (cyclo endohydroperoxide).
In the same series, depending upon double bonds on the side chains
designated as PGE1, PGE2, PGE3..etc
The number of double bonds varies from 1-3.
9. PROSTAGLANDINS RECEPTORS
They function close to the site of synthesis and are deactivated to
inactive metabolites before moving into the circuation.
Act locally in very low concentration, and acts on GPCR receptors.
INHIBITION OF PROSTAGLANDINS
Corticosteroids (e.g. cortisol) prevent the formation of arachidonic acid
by inhibiting the enzyme phospholipase A2.
Anti inflammatory drugs inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins.
They block the action of cyclooxygenase.
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase.
DEGRADATION OF PROSTAGLANDINS
All eicosanoids are metabolized rapidly.
Degradation mainly occurs in liver and lung.
Two enzymes, namely 15-α-hydroxy PG dehydrogenase & 13-PG
reductase, convert hydroxyl group at C15 to keto group & then to C13 and
C14 dihydroderivative.
10. BIOCHEMICAL ACTION OF PROSTAGLANDINS
The Prostaglandins (PGE, PGA, & PGI2) are vasodilator in nature. So they
decreases blood pressure.
PGE1 & PGE2 induce the symptoms of inflammation (redness, swelling,
edema etc.) due to arteriolar vasodilator, and cause rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriasis etc. so Corticosteroids are used to treat these conditions.
PGE2 & PGF2 are used for the medical termination of pregnancy and
induction of labor.
Pyrogens (fever causing) promote PG synthesis leading to the formation
of PGE2.
Migraine is also due to PGE2.
PGE2 along with histamine and bradykinin causes pain.
PGI2 inhibit platelet aggregation.
They are used in the treatment of gastric ulcers, hyoertention,
thrombosis, asthma etc.
Prostaglandins are also employed in the medical termination of
pregnancy, prevention of conception, induction of labor etc.
11. LEUKOTRIENES
Leukotrienes are synthesized by leucocytes, mast cells, lung, heart,
spleen etc. by lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid.
Leukotrienes are 20- Carbon polyenoic fatty acids having a number of
substituents.
Depending upon the substitutions, they are divided into LTA, LTB, LTD,
and LTE.
Each type is divided into sub-groups depending upon the number of
double bonds which vary from 3-5.
Leukotrienes possess no rings in their strurcture but have three
characteristic conjugated double bonds.
13. LEUKOTRIENES RECEPTORS
Leukotrienes are mainly show their effect by binding with G-Protein
Coupled receptors.
They show their action after binding with this receptors, and produce its
action like inflammation, smooth muscle constriction etc.
LEUKOTRIENES INHIBITORS
Zileuton is a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor which prevents the formation of
leukotrienes from arachidonic acid.
Leukotrienes antagonists involves Montelukast, Zafrilukast, Pranlukast to
treat allergy and asthma
DEGRADATION OF LEUKOTRIENES
Biological activity of leukotrienes is terminated by oxidation carried out
by a specific enzyme i.e. cytochrome P450 followed by beta oxidation on
carboxyl group.
14. BIOCHEMICAL ACTION OF LEUKOTRIENES
In general LTs appear to act as mediator in inflammation and anaphylaxis.
Leukotrienes are a hundred times more potent than histamine.
LT-C4, D4 or E4 causes capillary dilation and vascular permeability; they
causes erythema and wheal formtion like histamine.
Action on Bronical Muscles: Inhalation of LTs (C4, D4 or E4) causes
bronchospasm. So these leukotrienes are responsible for constriction of
broncial muscles like in asthma.
LTs- C4 and D4 are potent stimulators of mucus secretion from the
respiratory tract.
So prolonged use of aspirin depresses cyclooxygenase system and PG
synthesis but it did not show its action on lipoxygenase.
Inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and leukotrienes receptor antagonists (like
montelulast, zefirlukast) are used in the treatment of allergy and asthma.
15. THROMBOXANES
Named so because they are identified first in thrombocytes, it helps in
clot formation
Structure is similar to PGs, but have an oxygen atom in the cyclic ring
and contains a six numbered heterocyclic oxane ring.
The most common thromboxane, TXA2, contains an additional oxygen
atom attached both to carbon 9 and carbon 11 of the ring.
TXA2- Vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation thus helping clot
formation. Inhibited by aspirin.
19. ACTION OF THROMOBOXANES
As the concentration of Ca2+ve increases in the cytoplasm it leads to clot
formation and vasoconstiction.
Thromboxanes are vasocontrictor but prostacylins are vasodilator in
nature
20. FUNCTION OF THROMOBOXANES
Thromboxane is a vasoconstrictor and a potent hypertensive agent, and
it facilitates platelet aggregation.
It is in homeostatic balance in the circulatory system with prostacyclin, a
related compound.
If the cap of a vulnerable plaque erodes or ruptures, as in myocardial
infarction, platelets stick to the damaged lining of the vessel and to each
other within seconds and form a plug. These "Sticky platelets" secrete
several chemicals, including thromboxaneA2 that stimulate
vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow at the site.
INHIBITION OF THROMOBOXANES
The main drug for thromboxone A2 inhibtion is Aspirin which acts by
blocking COX enzyme.
Thromboxane synthase inhibitors inhibit the final enzyme (thromboxane
synthase) in the synthesis of thromboxane. Drugs e.g. Ifetroban,
Dipyridamole.
The thromboxane receptor antagonists includes terutroban.
Picotamide has activity both as a thromboxane sythase inhibitor and as
a thromboxane receptor antagonist. Ridogrel is another example.
