3. INTRODUCTION
Drug is a chemical substance which produces a biological effect when administered.
In 1891, Paul Elrich found antimalarial effects of methylene blue. Father of modern
chemotherapy and developed first synthetic drug.
Drug discovery involves validation and identification of a disease target.
Drug Development is a process for finding useful pharmaceuticals and turning them
into medicine.
Drug discovery approaches involve i.e., Structure based and Target based.
(Furqan, Asma, Ammara)
4. DRUG UTILIZATION
Drug prescription includes superscription, inscription,
subscription, signature.
Targets for drug action- receptors, ion channels, enzymes,
carrier molecule.
Drug routes ( IV, IM, SC, orally etc.)
Dosage forms i.e. solid (capsules, tablets) & liquid
(emulsions, gels).
(Ghalia, Amna, Maiyda)
5. Drug discovery and development
Recent technique: computer aided drug design (Riffat, Farwa, Sohaib)
6. CONCLUSION
The advancement of medications incorporates, the way things are assimilated, dispersed,
utilized, discharged and its possible advantages and systems of activity.
Drug use focuses around the different clinical, social, and financial parts of medication use. It
includes the dangers and advantages of medication treatment, while social angles can be
connected with improper use.
Current focus is on applied technology: must understand the drug discovery process
Drug disclosures incorporates, new advancements, for example, those that give method for
focusing on clinical items to explicit destinations inside the body or to control hereditary material.
