Advances in Pharmacology, Dr. Steven Dolgoff
June, 2010
Two of my personal heroes are Louis S. Goodman and Alfred Gilman, from Yale University’s School of Medicine. Together, Goodman and Gilman published The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, a textbook that is commonly referred to as the “bible of pharmacology.” As a podiatrist, I often need to rely on pharmacology to treat my patients. Pharmacology is derived from the ancient Greek words “pharmakon” and “logia,” meaning “drug” and “study” respectively. Today, pharmacology focuses on the interactions between a living organism and novel substances that are introduced into the organism’s biochemical systems. Studying the biological effects of these substances, pharmacology hopes to find medical applications for the substance, while recording the substance’s composition, properties, interactions, and toxicology. Today, pharmacology is central to the practice of Western medicine, which uses drugs to treat everything from pain to depression. Without the use of anesthetics and other important substances, modern surgeries and medical operations that have saved countless lives would be unimaginable. The clinical study of pharmacology officially dates back to the Middle Ages, with important work conducted by medical scholars, such as Avicenna, John of St. Amand, and Peter of Spain, although the use of plants and other substances for the treatment of diseases dates back to the earliest signs of civilization. Pharmacology was not instituted as a discipline until the 1800s, when the first university department was created in 1847. Up until that point, the effects of powerful drugs like morphine and quinine were only loosely discussed in conjunction with other observations and studies. Over the past century and a half, the study has advanced at an incredible rate. Today, we are able to synthesize and refine a number of drugs to treat the vast majority of ailments. With further pharmacological advances, mankind will be able to better treat and eventually cure today’s most plaguing diseases.
