	Pharmacology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pharmacology (in Greek: pharmacon (φάρμακον) meaning drug, and logos (λόγος) meaning science) is the study of how chemical substances interact with living systems.
		Pharmacology as a science is practiced by pharmacologists.
		Subdisciplines are clinical pharmacology (the medical field of medication effects on humans), neuro- and psychopharmacology (effects of medication on behavior and nervous system functioning), and theoretical pharmacology.

	ICH Guideline on Safety Pharmacology
		For the purpose of this document, safety pharmacology studies are defined as those studies that investigate the potential undesirable pharmacodynamic effects of a substance on physiological functions in relationship to exposure.
		The objectives of safety pharmacology studies are: 1) to identify undesirable pharmacodynamic properties of a substance that may have relevance to its human safety; 2) to evaluate adverse pharmacodynamic and/or pathophysiological effects of a substance observed in toxicology and/or clinical studies; and 3) to investigate the mechanism of the adverse pharmacodynamic effects observed and/or suspected.
		Safety pharmacology studies prior to the first administration in humans may not be necessary for cytotoxic agents for treatment of end-stage cancer patients.

	ICH Guidance for Industry - S7A Safety Pharmacology Studies for Human Pharmaceuticals
		Safety pharmacology evaluation of effects on these other systems may be of particular importance when considering factors such as the likely clinical trial or patient population (e.g., gastrointestinal tract in Crohn's disease, renal function in primary renal hypertension, immune system in immunocompromised patients.).
		Safety pharmacology studies with the finished product formulations should be conducted only for formulations that substantially alter the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of the active substance in comparison to formulations previously tested (i.e., through active excipients such as penetration enhancers, liposomes, and other changes such as polymorphism).
		Safety pharmacology studies may not be needed for locally applied agents (e.g., dermal or ocular) where the pharmacology of the test substance is well characterized, and where systemic exposure or distribution to other organs or tissues is demonstrated to be low.

	A brief history of pharmacology
		Pharmacology depends largely on experiments conducted in laboratory animals, but even the human animal may be used as a test subject.
		Pharmacology per se tends to use excised (isolated) organs or tissues and animals that are surgically prepared in various ways to aid in the detection and study of target activities.
		Pharmacology is similar to medicinal chemistry in that it has developed a vast array of techniques, both general and specialized.

		The second-year course in pharmacology introduces the student to the scientific basis for the use of drugs in medical practice and the essential principles of clinical pharmacology.
		Clinical pharmacology conferences provide the student with some immediate insight into application of pharmacologic principles to therapeutics and usually involve an extended discussion of how to use selected drugs, from controlling the dose to controlling the response.
		The fourth-year clinical pharmacology course extends fundamental knowledge of drug action to practical problems of therapy, based on the student's own clinical experiences to date.

	Pharmacology - Department of Pharmacology
		The main goals of the Department of Pharmacology are to improve therapy with the use of genetic-genomic information, leading to individualized medicine, and early therapy or prevention.
		Rather than applying the concept of one-drug-fits-all, pharmacogenomics aims to optimize therapy for the individual patient- on the basis of genetic profiles that determine susceptibility to disease and response to therapy.
		For example, researchers have developed a novel approach to measure and evaluate genetic variability associated with coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.
