Especially for lipophilic drugs' the liver plays an important role in the elimination so that for many drugs the total body clearance equals the metabolic clearance. The metabolic clearance depends on the kinetics of the metabolic enzymes in the liver. This implies that there must be a relationship between the parameters governing enzymatic conversion of drugs in the liver and the metabolic clearance or total body clearance. The object of this study is to explore the relationship between total body clearance in vivo and enzymatic processes in vitro. For this purpose the kinetics of series of barbiturates were studied in the intact rat and preparations of rat liver. The in vitro methods range from studies on the intact perfused rat liver via isolated liver cells (hepatocytes) to liver microsomes and the enzyme cytochrome Ρ 450. See figure. These studies allow us to gain information on the relevance of blood flow through the liver, the rate of penetration of drugs within the liver cells, access to the microsomes and finally binding to and biotransforma­ tion by the liver enzymes with respect to the rate of metabolic degrada­ tion. The barbiturates were chosen because the compounds are strongly re­ lated but nevertheless they show diverse pharmacological properties. The discovery of the hypnotic properties of 5,5-diethyl barbituric acid (barbital) by Fischer and Von Mehring in 1903 led to the synthesis of numerous barbituric acid derivatives. Numerous barbiturates and barbitu­ rate combinations have been introduced into practice as hypnotics, seda­ tives and anaesthetics (Bobranski, 1972). The consumption of barbiturates amounts still to enormous proportions so that many cases of barbiturate poisoning and fatalities have been reported. In early studies with rats and mice it has been found that the "hypnotic effect", often expressed as minimum anaesthetic dose (M.A.D.), could be changed markedly by varying the substituents.

    The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations with primary responsibility for international health matters and public health. Through this organization, which was created in 1948, the health professions of some 190 countries exchange their knowledge and experience with the aim of making possible the attainment by all citizens of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life. By means of direct technical cooperation with its Member States, and by stimulating such coopera­ tion among them, WHO promotes the development of comprehensive health services, the prevention and control of diseases, the improvement of environmental conditions, the development of human resources for health, the coordination and development of biomedical and health services research, and the planning and implementation of health programmes. These broad fields of endeavour encompass a wide variety of activities, such as developing systems of primary health care that reach the whole population of Member countries; promoting the health of mothers and children; combating malnutrition, controlling malaria and other communicable diseases including tuberculosis and leprosy; coordinating the global strategy for the prevention and control of AIDS; having achieved the eradication of smallpox, promoting mass immunization against a number of other preventable diseases; improving mental health; providing safe water supplies; and training health personnel of all categories. Progress towards better health throughout the world also demands international cooperation in such matters as establishing international standards for biological substances, pesticides and pharma­ ceuticals; formulating environmental health criteria; recommending international nonproprietary names for drugs; administering the International Health Regulations; revising the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and collecting and disseminating healih statistical information.

  • Early Drug Discovery and the Rise of Pharmaceutical Chemistry in a Classic Monograph (Figure 5)
    Drug Testing Historical and Analysis Received: 15 April 2011 Revised: 28 April 2011 Accepted: 28 April 2011 Published online in Wiley Online Library (www.drugtestinganalysis.com) DOI 10.1002/dta.301 Early drug discovery and the rise of pharmaceutical chemistry Alan Wayne Jones∗ Studies in the field of forensic pharmacology and toxicology would not be complete without some knowledge of the history of drug discovery, the various personalities involved, and the events leading to the development and introduction of new therapeutic agents. The first medicinal drugs came from natural sources and existed in the form of herbs, plants, roots, vines and fungi. Until the mid-nineteenth century nature’s pharmaceuticals were all that were available to relieve man’s pain and suffering. The first synthetic drug, chloral hydrate, was discovered in 1869 and introduced as a sedative-hypnotic; it is still available today in some countries. The first pharmaceutical companies were spin-offs from the textiles and synthetic dye industry and owe much to the rich source of organic chemicals derived from the distillation of coal (coal-tar). The first analgesics and antipyretics, exemplified by phenacetin and acetanilide, were simple chemical derivatives of aniline and p-nitrophenol, both of which were byproducts from coal-tar. An extract from the bark of the white willow tree had been used for centuries to treat various fevers and inflammation. The active principle in white willow, salicin or salicylic acid, had a bitter taste and irritated the gastric mucosa, but a simple chemical modification was much more palatable. This was acetylsalicylic acid, better known as Aspirin, the first blockbuster drug.
