Synthetic tranquillisers are mostly barbituric acid derivatives (e.g. veronal, luminal, seconal, amytal and nembutal). Other tranquillisers which are not barbituric acid derivatives are chlordiazepoxide, equanil meprobamate, valium (diazepam), etc. Opium alkaloids such as morphine and codeine are powerful analgesics (reduce pain). Heroin which is morphine diacetate is a widely used narcotic analgesic. Drugs which are used to cure diseases caused by microbes are called antimicrobials. These may be either sulpha drugs such as sulphapyridine, sulphadiazine, sulphaguanidine or they may be antibiotics. Antibiotics such as erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol which inhibit or arrest the growth of microbes are called bacteriostatic while others which kill the microbes are called bactericidal antibiotics. Which of the following tranquillisers is not a derivative of barbituric acid ?A. VeronalB. EquanilC. SeconalD. Luminal |

With the help of an example explain how do transquilizers control the feeling of depression ? |
|
Answer» Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter which plays a cruciaal role in mood changes. If somehow any person has low level of noradrenaline in the body, then the signal sending activity becomes slow and the person suffers from depression. For removing depression and to boost the mood, tranquillizers are used. These drugs inhibit the engyme which catalyst the degradation of noradrenaline. From this result, neurotransmitter noradrenaline is slowly metabolished and can thus activate the receptor for longer periods. |

A narrow spectrum antibiotic is active againstA. grams positive or gram negative bacteriaB. gram negative bacteria onlyC. single organism or one diseaseD. both gram positive and gram negative bacteria |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Antibiotics are now defined as chemical substances which in low concentration, either kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms by intervening in their metabolic processes. The full range of microorganisms attacked by an antibiotic is called its spectrum. Broad spectrum antibiotics are effective against several different tupes of harmful bacteria ie., a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. These effective mainly against gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria are narrow spectrum antibiotics. Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotics penicillin-G has narrow spectrum. If an antibiotic is effective against a single organism or diseases then it is limited spectrum antibiotic. |
