Unit III: Autocoids and Related Drugs – Summary
This unit focuses on autocoids, a diverse group of biologically active substances involved in inflammation, allergy, and pain mechanisms. It’s a key topic for students preparing BPharma 5th semester exams and GPAT.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Introduction & Classification of Autocoids: Autocoids are locally acting hormones like histamine, serotonin, prostaglandins, and kinins, playing roles in physiological and pathological processes.
- Histamine and 5-HT (Serotonin): Their functions and antagonists such as antihistamines (H1 and H2 blockers) and serotonin receptor blockers are discussed.
- Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes & Leukotrienes: Learn about their roles in inflammation, fever, and pain, along with drugs that inhibit their synthesis.
- Angiotensin, Bradykinin, Substance P: Explore peptides that influence blood pressure and inflammation.
- NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): Includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and COX-2 inhibitors used to treat inflammation and pain.
- Anti-gout and Antirheumatic Drugs: Covers colchicine, allopurinol, and DMARDs used in treating chronic inflammatory conditions.
