Humphrey Rang (born 1936) held the Chair of Pharmacology from 1979 to 1983. Rang qualified in medicine at UCL and had worked in H.O.Schild's laboratory while a medical student. He was the author of the first successful ligand-binding experiment of the modern era. [23] This was based on his PhD work in Oxford, under William D.M. Paton. Rang had ...
Adverse effects to monobactams can include skin rash and occasional abnormal liver functions. [citation needed]Monobactam antibiotics exhibit no IgE cross-reactivity reactions with penicillin but have shown some cross reactivity with cephalosporins, most notably ceftazidime, which contains an identical side chain as aztreonam.

In pharmacology, a drug is a chemical substance, typically of known structure, which, when administered to a living organism, produces a biological effect. [2] A pharmaceutical drug , also called a medication or medicine, is a chemical substance used to treat , cure, prevent , or diagnose a disease or to promote well-being . [ 3 ]
An irreversible antagonist is a type of antagonist that binds permanently to a receptor, either by forming a covalent bond to the active site, or alternatively just by binding so tightly that the rate of dissociation is effectively zero at relevant time scales. [1]
Vaughan Williams was a pharmacology tutor at Hertford College, Oxford. One of his students, Bramah N. Singh , [ 3 ] contributed to the development of the classification system. The system is therefore sometimes known as the Singh-Vaughan Williams classification .
3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG, MOPEG) is a metabolite of norepinephrine degradation.In the brain, it is the principal norepinephrine metabolite. It is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, [1] and a blood sample of it may therefore be an indication of recent sympathetic nervous system activity.
WikiProject Pharmacology may be able to help recruit an expert.
