Targets for Drug Action: Overview

6.3K
Drugs target macromolecules to modify ongoing cellular processes. Primary drug targets include receptors, ion channels, transporters, and enzymes.
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics: Overview

2.0K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism

3.9K
Synergism is a useful mechanism where combining two or more drugs is more effective than each constituent used alone. Such combinations are also called supra-additive interactions. The drugs collectively enhance the final therapeutic effect by acting on different targets. Another advantage is that the low dose of each constituent drug is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. This helps reduce the duration of therapy and lower the adverse effects of these drugs.
Such synergistic combinations...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Nutraceuticals
    • Systemic Inflammation

    Background:

    • Acne vulgaris (AV) therapies traditionally target pilosebaceous unit mechanisms.
    • Emerging evidence suggests systemic factors like stress, diet, and microbiome influence AV.
    • Addressing these systemic drivers offers new therapeutic avenues for acne management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review evidence on supplements targeting systemic drivers of acne vulgaris.
    • To present a clinical study evaluating a multi-ingredient nutraceutical for AV treatment.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of novel nutraceutical interventions for acne.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of supplements for acne vulgaris systemic drivers.
    • Clinical trial assessing a nutraceutical combination for acne management.
    • Evaluation of safety and efficacy endpoints in human subjects.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests vitamins, minerals, and botanicals may mitigate inflammation linked to systemic drivers.
    • The clinical study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the tested nutraceutical in managing AV.
    • The nutraceutical showed promise in addressing acne vulgaris through a multi-faceted approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Systemic factors play a significant role in acne vulgaris development and exacerbation.
    • Nutraceuticals targeting these systemic drivers represent a promising therapeutic strategy for AV.
    • Further research into evidence-based supplements can enhance acne vulgaris treatment protocols.
