Study Notes

Definitions and Concepts

A biologically active substance (BAS) refers to compounds that have a demonstrated effect on biological systems, influencing bodily functions at the cellular or molecular level.
A medicine is defined as any substance used to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease, often undergoing strict regulation and testing.
The pharmaceutical form of a drug is the physical state or configuration in which the medication is presented to the body, such as tablets, capsules, or injections.

Sources and Development of Drugs

Common sources of drugs include plants, animals, and synthetically produced compounds, with many medications originating from natural sources.
A main step in the development of a new medicine is preclinical testing, which involves laboratory research and animal studies to evaluate safety and efficacy before clinical trials in humans.
