1. Why is it necessary to quantify the relationship between drug and its biological effect?
Understanding drug-receptor interactions helps determine the potency, efficacy, and safety of a drug in treating diseases.
2. Which penicillin is resistant to penicillinase?
Methicillin is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, designed to resist bacterial beta-lactamases.
3. Which plant contains Morphine?
Morphine is present in Papaver somniferum (Opium poppy).
4. What is the preferred method for separating metals in a sample?
Ion exchange chromatography is used for the separation of metals.
5. What is the Rideal-Walker test used for?
It is performed using Staphylococcus pyogenes to determine the phenol coefficient, a measure of disinfectant efficacy.
6. To which class does Pheniramine maleate belong?
Pheniramine maleate is an antihistaminic drug, but it does not belong to ethylenediamine or aminoalkyl ether classes.
7. What happens to tetracycline between pH 4 and 8?
It undergoes epimerization at C-4, forming epitetracyclines, which are less active.
8. What is Tyndallization?
It is a successive heating at low temperatures to eliminate bacterial spores in sterilization.
9. How do Morphine and Heroin differ?
Heroin differs from Morphine due to acetyl groups at C3 and C6, making it more lipophilic and potent.
10. How do Vincristine and Vinblastine work?
They bind to tubulin, preventing microtubule formation and arresting the cell cycle at metaphase, making them effective anti-cancer drugs.
11. What is obtained from the complete hydrolysis of a rhamno-glucoside?
The hydrolysis yields Aglycon + Rhamnose + Glucose.
12. Which technique is used to study insoluble films at the oil-water interface?
Film balance is used to study insoluble films at the oil-water interface.
13. What is Gray Baby Syndrome, and which drug causes it?
Gray Baby Syndrome is a toxic reaction due to chloramphenicol, causing cyanosis, vomiting, and circulatory collapse in newborns.
14. What is the chemical name of Methadone hydrochloride?
Methadone hydrochloride is chemically known as N,N dimethyl-(1-methyl-1-oxo-3,3-diphenylhexyl) ammonium chloride.
15. What caused the Sulfonamide tragedy?
The Sulfonamide tragedy was due to its combination with diethylene glycol, a toxic solvent, causing multiple deaths.
