Is Pharmacology Difficult Podcast NATURE & SOURCES OF DRUGS-3

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay. If you want to know about many plant sources left for discussion, what more could be added to the ones already discussed? All these will be known to you all till the full stop. To break the ice, lets have a word about Resins, they are oxidised, polymerised volatile oils, insoluble in water, next I will complete my resin story by fitting some good types of resins along with theur respective examples. Next, I will be talking about Tannins, they are phenolic compounds soluble in water obtained from plants, basically possessing astringent action. Next set of words I dedicate to the Gums, they are colloidal exudates, secretory products of plants. They can be made into sugary polysachharides, Though pharmacologically inert, they find great use pharmacologically as suspending or emulsifying agents. Finally before turning the curtains down for today's episode, a word about Glycerine will make it to the full stop. That's all folks, no more talks for further tongue twisting, more different sources of drugs apart from plant or vegetable sources, all to be in store and reserve for next episode, till then, I just want to let you all know..
