Animal studies have shown activity in a wide spectrum…

ADRUCIL® Pharmacia & Upjohn Fluorouracil Antineoplastic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The mechanism of action of fluorouracil is mainly related to competitive inhibition of thymidylate synthetase, the enzyme catalyzing the methylation of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid. The consequent thymidine deficiency results in inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, thus inducing cell death. Also, moderate inhibition of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and incorporation of fluorouracil into RNA have been observed. The predominant…

At concentrations of 0.02 to 0.5%, ketorolac solution did not irritate the eyes of rats, dogs and monkeys. Up to 4% concentrations were nonirritating in albino rabbits. Ketorolac has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity when applied topically in several animal models of ocular inflammation. The compound significantly inhibited the inflammatory response…

ACYCLOVIR SODIUM FOR INJECTION Novopharm Antiviral Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Acyclovir, a synthetic acyclic purine nucleoside analog, is a substrate with a high degree of specificity for herpes simplex and varicella-zoster-specified thymidine kinase. Acyclovir is a poor substrate for host cell-specified thymidine kinase. Herpes simplex and varicella-zoster-specified thymidine kinase transform acyclovir to its monophosphate which is then transformed by a number of cellular enzymes to acyclovir diphosphate and acyclovir triphosphate….
