Document Summary
Pharmacology: the study of drugs, including: how a drug is delivered (its route of administration, how a drug works (its mechanism of action, the therapeutic effect of drugs on patients, the adverse effects of drugs on patients. Classification of therapeutics: drugs: traditional drugs (chemical agents, biologics: include antibodies, hormones, natural health products: include herbal supplements, vitamins, and minerals. Drug development timeline: drug development moves through several levels and the approval of marketed drugs in. In order to exert its effects, a drug must have the appropriate chemical and physical properties to pass through these barriers (i. e. to allow a drug to pass through cell membranes and exert effects within a cell) Quaternary ammonium compounds: quaternary ammonium compounds (+nr4): compounds that have at least one nitrogen atom and have a positive charge at all times, due to the positive charge, these molecules are unable to directly cross cell membranes.
