This document discusses pharmacodynamics, which refers to what a drug does to the body. It defines key terms and covers topics like the sites and types of drug action, mechanisms of drug action including receptor-mediated actions, and factors that can modify a drug's action. Specifically, it explains that drugs can act through extracellular, cellular, or intracellular sites. Their actions include stimulation, inhibition, replacement, irritation, and cytotoxic effects. Drugs act through mechanisms like interactions with enzymes, ion channels, transporters, receptors, or through physical/chemical properties. Receptor-mediated actions involve drug-receptor binding and complexes that can result in agonism, antagonism, or other effects. Finally, it lists factors like age,

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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

6. Types of Drug Action
1 Stimulation
2 Inhibition/
Depression
3 Replacement
4 Irritation
5 Cytotoxic
7. Types of Drug Action
1 Stimulation Some of drug act by increasing the activity of specialized cells.
Eg: Adrenaline stimulate the Heart rate & Force of contraction
2 Inhibition/
Depression
Some drug act by decreasing the activity of specialized cells.
Eg: Alcohol, Barbiturates, General anesthetic these drug depress
the CNS system.
3 Replacement When there is a deficiency of endogenous substances, they can
replaced by drugs.
Eg: Insulin in Diabetes mellitus, Throxine in cretinism and
myxedema
4 Irritation Certain drugs on topical application cause irritation of the skin and
adjacent tissues. These drugs are used for counter irritant.
Eg: Eucalyptus oil, methyl salicylates (Used in sprains, joint pain,
myalgia)
5 Cytotoxic Treatment of infectious disease/cancer with drugs that are
selectively toxic for infecting organism/cancer cells
Eg: Anticancer drugs, All Antibiotics
8. Mechanism of Action of Drugs
• Chemical interaction between drug & tissue.
• Drug acts by (HOW)
Through functional/regulatory
proteins
Through other mechanisms
(Physical/Chemical properties)
MOA
•Enzyme
•Transmembrane Ion Channel
•Transporter
•Receptor
•Adsorption
•Physical Mass
•Osmolarity
•Taste
•Demulcent
•Astringent
•Surface tension
•Chelation
10. Functional/Regulatory Proteins
Proteins Properties
1 Enzyme •Stimulation
•Induction (synthesis of more enzyme proteins)
•Inhibition (Competitive/Non-competitive)
2 Transmembrane Ion
Channel
Participate in transmembrane signaling and
regulate intracellular ionic composition.
They can be:
1.ligand gated channels
2.voltage operated
3 Transporter •Many drug produce their action by directly
interacting with the transporter proteins to inhibit
the ongoing transport of the metabolite/ ion.
4 Receptor •Drug produce their effect through interacting
with some chemical compartment of living
organism c/s Receptor.
11. Receptor Mediated action
• Receptor is defined as a macromolecule or
binding site located on the surface or inside the
effector cell that serves to recognize the signal
molecule/drug and initiate the response to it, but
itself has no other function.
• Receptors are macromolecules.
• Most are proteins.
• Present either on the cell surface, cytoplasm or
in the nucleus.
12. Receptor Functions: Two essential functions
1. Recognization of specific ligand molecule (Ligand
binding domain)
2. Transduction of signal into response (Effector domain)
Ligand binding
domain
Transduction of
signal into response
14. DRUG RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS
•Selectivity - Degree to which a drug acts on a given
site relative to other sites. Relatively nonselective
drugs affect many different tissues or organs.
Ex:- Salbutamol selectivity for ß2 Receptors as
compared to ß1 receptors.
•Affinity - Ability of drug to get bound to the receptor.
•Intrinsic activity (IA) or Efficacy - Ability of drug to
produce a pharmacological response after making
the drug receptor complex.
15. DRUG RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS
•Agonist - An agent which activates a receptor to
produce an effect similar to that of the physiological
signal molecule. (Affinity + IA=1)
•Inverse agonist - An agent which activates a
receptor to produce an effect in the opposite
direction to that of the agonist.
•Antagonist - An agent which prevents the action of
an agonist on a receptor or the subsequent
response, but does not have any effect of its own.
16. • Partial agonist - An agent which activates a receptor to
produce submaximal effect.
• Ligand (Latin: ligare- to bind) - Any molecule which
attaches selectively to particular receptors or sites. The
term only indicates affinity or ability to bind without
regard to functional change. Agonists and competitive
antagonists are both ligands of the same receptor.

24. Non receptor mediated action
• All drug actions are not mediated by receptors or
other regulatory proteins. Some of drugs may
act through chemical action or physical action or
other modes.
»Physical action
»False incorporation
»Protoplasmic poison
»Formation of antibody (Vaccines)
»Targeting specific genetic changes
»Chemical action
25. Non receptor mediated action
1. Physical action •Adsorption: Kaolin absorbs bacterilal toxin and thus acts as antidiarrhoeal
agent.
•Protectives:- Various dusting powders.
•Osmosis:- MgSo4 acts as a purgative by exerting osmotic effect
•Astringents:- They precipitate the surface proteins and protect the mucosa
Ex: tannic acid in gum patients
•Demulcent:- These drugs coat the inflamed mucus membrane and provide
soothing effect. Ex: Menthol
2. False
incorporation
•Bacteria synthesis folic acid from PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid), for
growth sand development.
•Sulfa drugs resemble PABA, therefore falsely enter into the synthesis
process of PABA, cause nonfunctional production and no utility for bacterial
growth.
3. Protoplasmic
poison
•Germicides and antiseptics like phenol and formaldehyde act as non
specifically as protoplasmic poison causing the death of bacteria
4. Formation of
antibodies
•Vaccines produce their effect by inducing the formation of antibodies and
thus stimulate the defense mechanism of the body- eg:- Vaccines against
COVID19.
5. Targeting specific
genetic changes
•Anti cancer drugs that specifically target genetic changes.
•Inhibitors of specific tyrosine kinase that that block the activity of oncogenic
kinases.
6. Chemical action •Ion Exchanges:-Anticoagulant effect of heparin(-ve charge) antagonized by
protamine (+ve charged) protein.
•Neutralization:- Excessive gastric acid is neutralized by antacids.
•Chelation:-These are trap the heavy metals. Ex:-EDTA, BAL.
27. Factors modifying drug action
Factors Drug Action
1 Body weight/size •It influences the concentration of drug attained at the site of
action.
•The average adult dose refers to individuals of medium built
(70 KG).
•For exceptionally obese or lean individuals and for children
dose may be calculated on body weight basis.

doses have to be reduced.
•Infants and children are have important physiological differences
• Higher proportion of water
• Lower plasma protein levels
• More available drug
• Immature liver/kidneys
• Liver often metabolizes more slowly
• Kidneys may excrete more slowly

Factors Drug Action
3 Gender •Females have smaller body size, and so require doses of drugs on
the lower side of the dose range
4 Pregnancy •Profound physiological changes which may affect drug responses:
•GI motility reduced –delayed absorption of orally administered
drugs
•Plasma and ECF volume expands
•Albumin level falls
•Renal blood flow increases markedly
•Hepatic microsomal enzyme induction
5 Food •Delays gastric emptying, delays absorption (ampicillin)
•Calcium in milk –interferes with absorption of tetracyclines and iron
by chelation
30. Factors modifying drug action
Factors Drug Action
6 Species & race Afro-americans require higher Mongols require lower concentrations of
atropine and ephedrine to dilate their pupil
7 ROA I.V route dose smaller than oral route
8 Biorhythm •Hypnotics –taken at night
•Corticosteroid –taken at a single morning dose
9 Psychological state •Efficacy of drugs can be effected by patients beliefs, attitudes and
expectations particularly applicable to centrally acting drugs
10 Presence of
diseases/pathological
states
Hepatic/renal disease may slow drug metabolism
11 Cumulation Any drug will cumulate in the body if rate of administration is more than the
rate of elimination-eg: digitalis, heavy metals etc.
12 Genetic Factors Lack of specific enzymes, lower metabolic rate-eg: Acetylation, Plasma
cholinesterase (Atypical pseudo cholinesterase), G-6PD, Glucuronide
conjugation
13 Tolerance Requirement of a higher dose of the drug to produce an effect, which is
ordinarily produced by normal therapeutic dose of the drug
