Mechanism of Action of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs John R. Vane, DSc, FRS, Regina M. Botting, PhD, London, United Kingdom Salicylic acid and salicylates, obtained from natural sources, have long been used as medicaments. Sal-icylic acid was chemically synthesized in 1860 and was used as an antiseptic, an antipyretic, and an antirheumatic. Almost 40 years later, aspirin was de-veloped

Biochemical Mechanism of Action Figure 2 depicts the biochemical events that regulate the contraction and relaxation function of all muscle (smooth, cardiac, skeletal). The state of muscle (contraction or relaxation) is controlled by the action of myosin-actin pair of proteins. Depending on whether myosin is phosphorylated or not, the action of actin results in either contraction or relaxation

There was a dose-dependent inhibition of PG formation by all three drugs, indomethacin being the most potent and sodium salicylate the least. Three other drugs, morphine (an opiate analgesic), hydrocortisone (a steroidal anti-inflammatory) and mepyramine (an antihistamine), had little or no effect.
Although metformin has been widely prescribed to patients with T2D for over 50 years and has been found to be safe and efficacious both as monotherapy and in combination with other oral antidiabetes agents and insulin, the mechanism of metformin action is …
Drug Classes and General Mechanisms of Action Many sympathomimetics are catecholamines or analogs of catecholamines that can be divided into two mechanistic classes: 1) alpha-adrenoceptor agonists (α-agonists), and 2) beta-adrenoceptor agonists (β-agonists).
The pharmacology of antidepressants is not entirely clear. The earliest and probably most widely accepted scientific theory of antidepressant action is the monoamine hypothesis (which can be traced back to the 1950s), which states that depression is due to an imbalance (most often a deficiency) of the monoamine neurotransmitters (namely serotonin , norepinephrine and dopamine ).

Mode of action is physiological and biochemical interaction between plant/ animal/ human and chemicals whereas, Mechanism of action or site of action is a location to which chemical binds
Drugs that act as binding agents such as cholestyramine and colestipol can impair the bioavailability of other drugs. This will result in a reduction in the therapeutic effect of the object drug. The effect can be profound with some combinations such as cholestyramine and furosemide. Some drugs such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g., Cipro) are susceptible to chelation with cations such as
Diuretics are among the most commonly used drugs. They act by diminishing sodium reabsorption at different sites in the nephron, thereby increasing urinary sodium and water losses. The ability to induce negative fluid balance has made diuretics useful in the treatment of a variety of conditions, particularly edematous states and hypertension.

Not all drugs exert their pharmacologic actions via receptor-mediated mechanisms. The action of some drugs—including inhalation anesthetic agents, osmotic diuretics, purgatives, antiseptics, antacids, chelating agents, and urinary acidifying and alkalinizing agents—is attributed to their
The mechanism by which drugs can cause a reversible loss of consciousness is still the subject of intense debate. An enduring finding has been that lipid solubility correlates with anaesthetic potency, indicating a lipophilic site of action.

The pharmacology of antidepressants is not entirely clear. The earliest and probably most widely accepted scientific theory of antidepressant action is the monoamine hypothesis (which can be traced back to the 1950s), which states that depression is due to an imbalance (most often a deficiency) of the monoamine neurotransmitters (namely serotonin , norepinephrine and dopamine ).

This drug was named “Aspirin” and became the most widely used medicine of all time. In 1971, Vane discovered the mechanism by which aspirin exerts its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic
• Mechanism of action – NRTI’s compete with host nucleotides to serve as the substrate for reverse transcriptase chain elongation – Absence of 3’-OH group on sugar moiety prevents the addition of another nucleotide resulting in chain termination – Viral DNA chain elongation is aborted and viral replication ceases • Adverse effects: nausea, headache, lactic acidosis, anemia (AZT
•Mechanism of Action there is 10x more drug in the ionized than in the non-ionized form at physiological pH. Pharmacology of Local Anesthetics –Chemistry Both free base and ionized forms of local anesthetic are necessary for activity: local anesthetic enters nerve fibre as neutral free base and the cationic form blocks conduction by interacting at inner surface of the Na channel
Biochemical Mechanism of Action Figure 2 depicts the biochemical events that regulate the contraction and relaxation function of all muscle (smooth, cardiac, skeletal). The state of muscle (contraction or relaxation) is controlled by the action of myosin-actin pair of proteins. Depending on whether myosin is phosphorylated or not, the action of actin results in either contraction or relaxation

Mechanism of Action of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs John R. Vane, DSc, FRS, Regina M. Botting, PhD, London, United Kingdom Salicylic acid and salicylates, obtained from natural sources, have long been used as medicaments. Sal-icylic acid was chemically synthesized in 1860 and was used as an antiseptic, an antipyretic, and an antirheumatic. Almost 40 years later, aspirin was de-veloped

Diuretics are among the most commonly used drugs. They act by diminishing sodium reabsorption at different sites in the nephron, thereby increasing urinary sodium and water losses. The ability to induce negative fluid balance has made diuretics useful in the treatment of a variety of conditions, particularly edematous states and hypertension.

With haloperidol, all these “markers” significantly changed in each region, implying a potent drug action in the caudate/putamen and a strong transmitted signal through the rest of the basal ganglia to the thalamus and thereafter to the cortex. 26 These data are direct evidence from the experimental animal of the idea of a transmitted antipsychotic action through the basal ganglia and the

There was a dose-dependent inhibition of PG formation by all three drugs, indomethacin being the most potent and sodium salicylate the least. Three other drugs, morphine (an opiate analgesic), hydrocortisone (a steroidal anti-inflammatory) and mepyramine (an antihistamine), had little or no effect.

Inotropic drugs and their mechanisms of action
Drugs that act as binding agents such as cholestyramine and colestipol can impair the bioavailability of other drugs. This will result in a reduction in the therapeutic effect of the object drug. The effect can be profound with some combinations such as cholestyramine and furosemide. Some drugs such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g., Cipro) are susceptible to chelation with cations such as

The pharmacology of antidepressants is not entirely clear. The earliest and probably most widely accepted scientific theory of antidepressant action is the monoamine hypothesis (which can be traced back to the 1950s), which states that depression is due to an imbalance (most often a deficiency) of the monoamine neurotransmitters (namely serotonin , norepinephrine and dopamine ).
