decrease duration of action but increase central nervous system (CNS) depression.

A study of the metabolic fate of a drug is required for all new drug products. Often it is found that the metabolites are also active.

Examples of an inactive parent drug that is converted to an active metabolite include the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent sulindac being reduced to the active

Nursing mothers must be concerned, because drugs and their metabolites can be excreted in human milk and be ingested by the nursing infant.

Receptors include a relatively small region of a macromolecule, which may be an:

The more advanced method of receptor isolation

The ability of the drug to dissolve is governed by several laclot Including

Chloramphenicol producing an unpalatable bitterness. To mask this intense bitter taste, the
