Experimental pharmacology deals with studying the reactions of living organisms to drugs. It involves pre-clinical and clinical studies as well as various types of research like behavioral, developmental, and functional research. Some techniques used in experimental pharmacology include cell culture, immunostaining, computational genomics, transfection, stem cell culture, DNA sequencing, gene knockdown, polymerase chain reaction, and more. Pharmacological research is important for developing life-saving treatments and better understanding traditional medicines like Ayurveda.

3.  Experimental pharmacology, in
the broadest sense, deals with the
reactions of living organisms to
the drug during experimentation.

4. Pre clinical studies
Clinical studies

5.  Pure research-Behavioural, Developmental,
Functional
 Applied research-Specific activity
 Xenotransplantation-Transplant of tissue or
organ from one species to other
 Toxicological studies-Safety studies

8.  Cell culture –Growth of cells under controlled
conditions
 Immunostaining – Specialised histological methods to
localise proteins in cells or tissue slices. Antibody directed
against the protein – Antigen-antibody reaction-Veiwed
under flouroscence microscopy
 Computational genomics – Computational analysis to
decipher biology from genome sequences and related data
 Transfection – deliberately introducing nucleic acids into
cells
 Stem cell culture – Umbilical cord stem cell culture

9.  DNA Sequencing and Genomics –To
determine the order of nucleotide bases in a strand
of DNA
 Gene knockdown – Mutation of a selected gene.
 Polymerase Chain reaction(PCR) – to amplify a
single or a strand of DNA across several orders of
magnitude, generating a no. of copies of of that
particular DNA sequence

10.  Research is an area which sees continuous growth and
which sees no stagnation. Pharmacological research is one
area wherein the outcome is life saving and very essential
to mankind.
 Ayurvedic drugs are known to act since time immemorial
but their modes of actions are to be understood.
 These updates of research help in better understanding of
our drugs and their actions and can be incorporated into
Ayurvedic Drug Research.
 Pinpoint identification of the problem and pinpoint
treatment is possible through Ayurveda and these
methods definitely help in providing better understanding
in this regard.
