Semisynthetic source
Semisynthetic source
It is the modification of a natural drug by changing its chemical structure
Semisynthetic source
- Penicillin -> Tetracycline
- immature insulin -> insulin
Synthetic
It is the drug that has been completely synthesized in the laboratory.
Synthetic source:
- aspirin
- antihistamine
New source
New field which is being developed by mixing discoveries from molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, DNA alteration, gene splicing, immunology and immunopharmacology.
Examples:
- Coronavirus- replicate unit vaccine (mRNA)
- Hepatitis B vaccine
- Human insulin
Uses of drug:
- Treatment of disease
- Diagnostic
- Growth promoter
- Prevention of disease ( prophylactic )
- Metaphylactic
Metaphylactic:
It is the preventive treatment given to farm animals after the occurrence of disease case within the group.
