Pharmacology Articles

Pharmacology may be a branch of drugs and pharmaceutical sciences which cares with the study of a drug or medication action, where a drug is often broadly or narrowly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (from within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism (sometimes the word pharmacy is employed as a term to encompass these endogenous and exogenous bioactive species). More specifically, it's the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical functions. If substances have medicinal properties, they're considered pharmaceuticals. the sector encompasses drug composition and properties, synthesis and drug design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ/systems mechanisms, signal transduction/cellular communication, molecular diagnostics, interactions, chemical biology, therapy, and medical applications and antipathogenic capabilities. The two main areas of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamics studies the consequences of a drug on biological systems, and pharmacokinetics studies the consequences of biological systems on a drug.
