    YEREVAN STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY AFTER M. HERATSI DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY Balasanyan M.G. Zhamharyan A.G. Afrikyan Sh. G. Khachaturyan M.S. Manjikyan A.P. MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY HANDOUT for the 3-rd-year pharmacy students (part 2) YEREVAN 2017 Analgesic Agents Agents that decrease pain are referred to as analgesics or as analgesics. Pain relieving agents are also called antinociceptives. An analgesic may be defined as a drug bringing about insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness. Pain has been classified into the following types: physiological, inflammatory, and neuropathic. Clearly, these all require different approaches to pain management. The three major classes of drugs used to manage pain are opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and non opioids with the central analgetic activity. Narcotic analgetics The prototype of opioids is Morphine. Morphine is obtained from opium, which is the partly dried latex from incised unripe capsules of Papaver somniferum. The opium contains a complex mixture of over 20 alkaloids. Two basic types of structures are recognized among the opium alkaloids, the phenanthrene (morphine) type and the benzylisoquinoline (papaverine) type (see structures), of which morphine, codeine, noscapine (narcotine), and papaverine are therapeutically the most important. The principle alkaloid in the mixture, and the one responsible for analgesic activity, is morphine. Morphine is an extremely complex molecule. In view of establish the structure a complicated molecule was to degrade the: compound into simpler molecules that were already known and could be identified. For example, the degradation of morphine with strong base produced methylamine, which established that there was an N-CH3 fragment in the molecule.

  • Antiseptics and Disinfectants for the Treatment Of
    Verstraelen et al. BMC Infectious Diseases 2012, 12:148 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/12/148 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antiseptics and disinfectants for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis: A systematic review Hans Verstraelen1*, Rita Verhelst2, Kristien Roelens1 and Marleen Temmerman1,2 Abstract Background: The study objective was to assess the available data on efficacy and tolerability of antiseptics and disinfectants in treating bacterial vaginosis (BV). Methods: A systematic search was conducted by consulting PubMed (1966-2010), CINAHL (1982-2010), IPA (1970- 2010), and the Cochrane CENTRAL databases. Clinical trials were searched for by the generic names of all antiseptics and disinfectants listed in the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System under the code D08A. Clinical trials were considered eligible if the efficacy of antiseptics and disinfectants in the treatment of BV was assessed in comparison to placebo or standard antibiotic treatment with metronidazole or clindamycin and if diagnosis of BV relied on standard criteria such as Amsel’s and Nugent’s criteria. Results: A total of 262 articles were found, of which 15 reports on clinical trials were assessed. Of these, four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were withheld from analysis. Reasons for exclusion were primarily the lack of standard criteria to diagnose BV or to assess cure, and control treatment not involving placebo or standard antibiotic treatment. Risk of bias for the included studies was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias. Three studies showed non-inferiority of chlorhexidine and polyhexamethylene biguanide compared to metronidazole or clindamycin. One RCT found that a single vaginal douche with hydrogen peroxide was slightly, though significantly less effective than a single oral dose of metronidazole.

The development of the two systems had previously taken place separately. EphMRA and WHO are now working together to ensure that there is a convergence of the 2 systems rather than a divergence. In order to better understand the two classification systems, we should pay attention to the way in which substances/products are classified. WHO mainly classifies substances according to the therapeutic or pharmaceutical aspects and in one class only (particular formulations or strengths can be given separate codes, e.g. clonidine in C02A as antihypertensive agent, N02C as anti-migraine product and S01E as ophthalmic product). EphMRA classifies products, mainly according to their indications and use. Therefore, it is possible to find the same compound in several classes, depending on the product, e.g., NAPROXEN tablets can be classified in M1A (antirheumatic), N2B (analgesic) and G2C if indicated for gynaecological conditions only. The purposes of classification are also different: The main purpose of the WHO classification is for international drug utilisation research and for adverse drug reaction monitoring. This classification is recommended by the WHO for use in international drug utilisation research. The EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide classification has a primary objective to satisfy the marketing needs of the pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, a direct comparison is sometimes difficult due to the different nature and purpose of the two systems.

  • Le Baclofène Et L'alcool 3 Nouveaux Paradigmes
    Académie Nationale de Pharmacie Lien d’intérêt : Ethypharm/Lundbeck 04/06/2014 Pr P.Jaury Université Paris Descartes 1 Les 3 nouveaux paradigmes proposés: l’abstinence totale ne serait plus nécessaire pour traiter les problèmes d’alcoolisme. « L’abstinence ,n’est plus un objectif mais une conséquence du traitement ». On pourrait soigner efficacement les patients non dépendants ayant un problème d’alcool. On pourrait obtenir « l’indifférence à l’alcool ». 04/06/2014 Pr P.Jaury Université Paris Descartes 2 LE BACLOFENE (AMM) Lioresal®: 1972. AMM : -contractures spastiques de la SEP. -contractures spastiques des affections médullaires (d'étiologie infectieuse, dégénérative, traumatique, néoplasique). -contractures spastiques d'origine cérébrale. -maximum 75 mg par jour en ambulatoire. 04/06/2014 Pr P.Jaury Université Paris Descartes 3 LE BACLOFENE et son action il augmente l’activité GABA (agoniste des récepteurs GABA b) et diminue celle du glutamate. Ce qui réduirait l’activité de la dopamine. Et donc action sur les mécanismes cérébraux de la récompense? 04/06/2014 Pr P.Jaury Université Paris Descartes 4 Médicaments et récepteurs GABA Les benzodiazépines, les barbituriques, le topiramate (Epitomax®), la gabapentine (Neurontin®), la prégabaline (Lyrica®) et les valproates (Dépamide®, Dépakine® et Dépakote®) agissent sur les récepteurs GABA a. Ainsi que l’acamprosate (Aotal ®). Les autres substances connues agissant sur les récepteurs GABA b sont le gamma- hydroxybutyrate ou GHB (Alcover® en Italie et en Autriche dans le traitement de l’alcoolisme en première intention) , le Phénibut® et le Picamilon® en Russie. 04/06/2014 5 Pr P.Jaury Université Paris Descartes LE BACLOFENE et la cocaïne À la dose de 5mg/kg, le baclofène réduit l’auto-administration de cocaïne chez le rat.

  • Dimethyl Fumarate and Progressive Multifocal Leucoencephalopathy (PML)
    Dimethyl fumarate and progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) Introduction Dimethyl fumarate Psorinovo® is not registered through the Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB). It is a compounded drug made by GMP compounding pharmacy Mierlo Hout in the Netherlands, and used for the indication psoriasis [1]. Psorinovo® has been compounded by pharmacy Mierlo Hout for 28 years. According to Dutch law Mierlo Hout pharmacy is regarded as a supplying-pharmacy. ® Dimethyl fumarate, registered as Tecfidera , was granted marketing authorization in the Netherlands on 30 January 2014 and is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis [2]. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by reactivation of the polyomavirus JC (JC virus). Asymptomatic primary infection with the JC virus occurs in childhood, antibodies can be found in 86% of adults. PML occurs almost exclusively in immunosuppressed individuals. There were only isolated cases reported of PML in patients without apparent immunosuppression. However, there are reports of PML affecting patients who have conditions associated with minimal or occult immunosuppression, such as hepatic cirrhosis and renal failure [3]. PML has also been reported in patients treated with drugs such as belatacept, brentuximab, efalizumab, fludarabine, glucocorticoids, infliximab, mycophenolate, rituximab, ruxolitinib and natalizumab. In some cases, these drugs were used in combination with other immunosuppressive medications (eg, cyclophosphamide, leflunomide, methotrexate). Many of the patients had an underlying hematologic malignancy or collagen vascular disease [3]. There is no specific treatment for PML. The main approach is restoring the host adaptive immune response, a strategy that appears to prolong survival.
