What is the relevance of organic chemistry to pharmacy?
Organic chemistry is crucial in pharmacy as it helps in understanding the chemical composition of drugs, their structure-activity relationships, and how they interact with biological systems. Pharmacists need to have a strong foundation in organic chemistry to design, synthesize, and analyze drugs effectively for their therapeutic effects and safety. This knowledge is essential for developing new drugs, optimizing existing formulations, and ensuring their proper use in patients.
Why does hyaluronidase enhance the diffusion of injected drugs?
Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid, a component of the extracellular matrix, which helps to create space in the tissue for injected drugs to spread. This increased space allows for better diffusion of the drugs throughout the tissue, resulting in faster absorption and distribution.
What does an OH group at position 3 and 4 of the benzene ring of adrenergic drugs result in?

What do you call it when two drugs interfere with each other?
When two drugs interact and affect each other's pharmacological activity, it's referred to as a drug-drug interaction. This can lead to altered drug concentrations in the body, potentially increasing or decreasing the effects of the drugs and causing unexpected side effects.
What is the difference between direct acting and indirect acting cholinergic drugs?
Direct acting cholinergic drugs directly bind to and activate cholinergic receptors, while indirect acting cholinergic drugs increase cholinergic activity by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine. Direct acting drugs include bethanechol and pilocarpine, while indirect acting drugs include donepezil and physostigmine.
The antimicrobial drugs with the broadest spectrum of activity are?
tetracycline
Are drugs cure the diseases directly?
