  • The study's purpose is to demonstrate acceptable growth and tolerance for three of its products to achieve permanent U.S. market authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) while it continues to import under the FDA's enforcement discretion policy. (mystateline.com)
  • It has not been established, however, that the action of such drugs in treating obesity is primarily one of appetite suppression. (nih.gov)
  • PSDDS wherein the drug release is controlled primarily by the delivery system, stimuli induced PSDDS in which release is controlled by the stimuli, such as the pH present in the intestinal tract. (scialert.net)
  • The only possible exception to this rule is in the case of drug-induced seizures, particularly with seizures secondary to theophylline ingestion, in which phenobarbital may be administered prior to phenytoin. (medscape.com)
  • Diethylpropion hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic amine with some pharmacologic activity similar to that of the prototype drugs of this class used in obesity, the amphetamines. (nih.gov)
  • 1) Yet already by 1972 PIR's pharmacologic uniqueness led C.E. Giurgea, UCB's principal PIR researcher and research co-ordinator, to formulate an entirely new category of drugs to describe PIR: the nootropic drug. (worldhealth.net)
  • A prominent example of such compounds is Remdesivir, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that features a phosphorus stereocentre and has gained considerable interest during the COVID-19 pandemic. (nature.com)
  • The flexibility of the method is demonstrated by the fact that distinct stereoisomers of chiral phosphorus compounds can be formed by simply changing the order of steps in the synthetic sequence. (nature.com)
