Pharmacology is often described as a bridge science because it incorporates knowledge and skills from a number of basic science disciplines including physiology, biochemistry and cell and molecular biology. It is a scientific discipline that described the overt effects of biologically active chemicals. Pharmacology explores the molecular mechanisms by which drugs cause biological effects. In the broadest sense, Pharmacology is the study of how chemical agents, both natural and synthetic (i.e., drugs) affect biological systems.
Its primary aim is the discovery of chemical mechanisms by which cellular and molecular functions are regulated for the purpose of understanding how existing drugs act and to develop new drugs for treatment and diagnosis of human diseases. Drugs and chemicals produce their effects only through modifications of underlying biological systems; their actions are useful in regulating not only normal functions of cells and organisms but also the abnormal processes which occur in disease.Pharmacological studies can determine the effects of chemical agents upon sub cellular, systemic, physiological or behavioral processes; focus on the treatment and prevention of diseases; or deal with the potential hazards of pesticides and herbicides.
