Q

what is the doctrine of signatures

A

physical characteristics of plants and herbs indicate their potential therapeutic uses.
The idea is that plants and other natural substances have a “signature,” often related to their shape, color, texture, or smell, which signals their specific healing properties.

Q

examples of the doctrine of signatures

A

Walnuts were good to cure ailments of the head because they had a perfect signature for the head
since they looked like the brain they are thought to help with cognitive abilities and brain related diseases

The holes in the leaves of Saint Johns Wort resemble pores of the skin and, therefore, can treat disease and wounds of the skin

60
what is the FDA
regulatory agency involved in regulation of drug development
61
what is the purpose of the FDA
regulates food , drugs , cosmetics , OTC , supplements , drug dev, controlled substances (tobacco, sedatives , addictives , stimulants)
62
why does the FDA have stronger rules
due to the Strep-Elixir - killed people by mixing drug molecule with antifreeze
63
what is the FDA exemption law
allows FDA to permit off label use, and it was after the AIDS crisis why we were able to make covid vaccine fast permit pharmaceutical companies to broaden access to investigational products while they are still going through clinical trials
64
what does the modern fda protect
public health by ensuring safety and effictiveness of meds, biological products, med devices, food, cosmetics, and radiation emitting products
65
what does the modern fda advance
public health by accelerating innovations for more effective safer and affordable meds while providing public with accurate science-based info for better health
66
approx ____ billion to produce new drug
$1-$2
67
approx _____ years
12
68
______ drugs make it to market
1/10
69
what are the phases of drug development
discovery development clinical studies post marketing surveillance
70
what happens in discovery phase
Discover molecule & file patent
71
what happens during development phase
short term toxicity w/ animals (LD50 & ED50 & MOS) long term toxicity w/ specialized animals (reproductive & cancers), submit IND
72
what is LD50
determine lethal dose - LD50 (50% out of total receiving drug dose are killed)
73
what is ED50
determine effective dose - ED50 (50% out of total receiving drug dose causes an effect)
74
What is the margin of safety
LD50 ÷ ED50 acceptable margin in drugs is >/= 2000
75
LD50 = 10 mg ED50 = 2 mg what is mOS & what it means
MoS = 5 legal dose is only 5x the effective which is low margin of safety in humans
76
what happens in phase 1
immediately after IND approval, 20-100 healthy individuals, non-blinded (participant & tester know) takes several months (shorter time), purpose is for safety, pharmocokinetics (what does the body do with the drug) & pharmacodynamics (how does it affect the body), tested for safety in volunteers
77
waht happens in phase 2
up to several hundred diverse individuals with the disease, 1-4 yrs, purpose is for short-term effectiveness, safety, and dose ranging; double blind (random assignment, neither party knows)
78
what happens in phase 3
several hundred to several thousand taking drugs, 1-4 years, toxicities here may not show until after marketing when millions take it long term, testing for safety, dosage, effectiveness & adverse effects
79
submit NDA after conclusion of clinical trials (approx 8-9yrs after animal & human testing), if approved can sell
true
80
what is phase 4
post marketing surveillance for adverse event monitoring forever after FDA approval monitored for remainder of life span can be pulled off market or relabeled with new warnings and precautions
81
wht is the right to try law
allows terminally ill patients to access experimental treatments that have passed Phase I of clinical trials but have not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This legislation aims to give patients who have exhausted other treatment options the opportunity to try investigational drugs that could potentially help them, without waiting for the lengthy FDA approval process
82
chemical drug name
determined by chemical structure; ex: acetylsalicylic acid
83
generic drug name
not capatalized, FDA approved official name
84
brand/trade name
trademarked
85
What is ANDA?
abbreviated - application for drug approval for an existing licensed medication or approved drug
86
what is NDA
new drug application - submitted after successful conclusion of clinical trials approx 8-9 yrs after animal and human testing
87
What is a Patent?
lasts approx 20 yrs after applying prior to phase 1 of testing other companies can file ANDA to sell the same product without clinical trial testing gives the patent holder the exclusive right to manufacture, use, sell, and distribute the drug for a certain period, typically 20 years from the date of filing
88
ex of patent and ANDA
ibuprofen is the generic name (note the small case lettering) After patent expiration, the trade names for ibuprofen include Advil Caldolor Genpril I-Prin Ibu-200 Midol Cramp and Body Aches Motrin; Motrin Children’s, Motrin Junior, Motrin IB Neoprofen
89
Factors affecting drug cost and drug development
research & devleopment costs includes FDA approval process complicated manufacturing process coverage and reimbursement for the drug by 3rd party payer (insurance) desired profit margin of manufacturer maximizing profits prior to patent expiration export to other countries determined by foreign government or negotiation usually lower over seas
90
what is the difference bw pharmacology and pharmacoepidemiology
pharmacology - basic and clinical applied science that deals with fate and actions of drugs in the body pharmakon - poison or drugs logos - study or discourse of pharmacoepidemiology - study of drug outcomes study of the use and effects of drugs in large populations Applies the principles and methods of epidemiology to understand the patterns, causes, and effects of drug use and to evaluate the outcomes of drug therapies in the real world.
