Summary of Unit-IV: Drugs Acting on the Endocrine System
Unit-IV of the BPharma syllabus focuses on drugs affecting the endocrine system, essential for managing hormonal imbalances and related disorders. This unit covers the nomenclature, stereochemistry, and metabolism of steroids, which form the basis of many hormonal drugs. Key sex hormones such as testosterone, nandrolone, progesterone, oestriol, oestradiol, oestrone, and diethylstilbestrol are thoroughly discussed, highlighting their therapeutic roles and structural nuances.
Furthermore, the unit explains drugs for erectile dysfunction, like sildenafil and tadalafil, which enhance blood flow to treat impotence. A significant section is devoted to oral contraceptives, including mifepristone, norgestrel, and levonorgestrel, vital for reproductive health management. The role of corticosteroids—such as cortisone, hydrocortisone, prednisolone, betamethasone, and dexamethasone—is detailed for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Lastly, the unit explores thyroid and antithyroid drugs, including L-thyroxine, L-thyronine, propylthiouracil, and methimazole, which regulate thyroid hormone levels effectively. This well-structured and easy-to-understand content is crucial for both semester exam preparation and competitive exams
