Study Notes
-
Irreversible antagonists are a type of drug that binds to the same receptor as an agonist, forming a covalent bond that is difficult to break
-
They produce long-lasting effects and have no effect even if agonist concentration increases
-
Decrease the number of available receptors and are rarely used in clinical practice
-
Reversible enzyme inhibitors, such as MAOIs, are more commonly used
-
Pharmacokinetics is the study of drugs and their metabolites, including administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination
-
Among the various routes of drug administration, the most common ones are oral, intravenous, and subcutaneous
-
Oral administration is easy and convenient but may involve first pass metabolism and carry a risk of infection
-
Intravenous administration provides fast delivery to the site but requires trained personnel and carries a risk of infections and pain
-
Lung administration can provide fast action due to the thin walls between alveoli and capillaries and the high surface area, allowing for easy entry into the bloodstream and systemic effects
-
The history of medicine dates back to the mid-18th century when little was known about diseases and their causes, and medical treatments were often dangerous and ineffective. Many diseases, including smallpox, tuberculosis, typhus, and scurvy, were major killers. Medical entrepreneurs, or "quacks," made a fortune selling untested and often dangerous treatments. Dr. William Withering extracted digitalis from foxglove plants to treat dropsy, a condition caused by congestive heart failure. Hale developed a ventilation system to reduce deaths in prisons due to typhus, but it was later discovered that the disease was caused by fleas. Edward Jenner developed a treatment for smallpox by inoculating people with cowpox, a disease that gave immunity to smallpox. Jenner's work led to the eradication of smallpox worldwide. Industrialization led to the prevalence of workplace illnesses such as byssinosis, caused by exposure to cotton dust, and cancer from exposure to oils. The 1832 Anatomy Act enabled the use of bodies of the poor for medical training, significantly advancing medical knowledge and understanding of diseases and their effects on the human body.
