A ‘magic bullet’ is a term used to describe a drug which is supposed cures all infectious diseases. It should contain the features of antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and antihelminth drugs all in one. For this study, the designed ‘magic bullet’ wills antimicrobials, antifungal, antihelminth and antiviral.
The mode of action of drug X is explained by breaking it down and explaining the manner of operation of each of the following three subgroups that is:
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Antimicrobial
Antihelminth
Antiviral
Antifungal
ANTIMICROBIALS:
This subset of drug X is designed to kill disease-causing bacteria’s, and it acts by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. It’s highly effective in the fast multiplying organism.
ANTIRETROVIRAL
The mode of action of antiretroviral n this drug is inhibiting the reversed transcriptase enzyme necessary for DNA synthesis. It’s incorporated into the viral DNA chain which is growing during multiplication and terminates the lengthening of the DNA chain.
ANTIFUNGAL
The mode of action of this subgroup is first to exploit differences between human and fungal cells so as to kill the fungal cells with minimal effects; they work by inhibiting DNA synthesis.
ANTIHELMINTHS
This subgroup acts by killing and eliminating helminths from the gastrointestinal tract and tissue, they work on helminths by inhibiting the rate of glucose uptake and other nutrients.
ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION
The appropriate route of administration for this drug is intravenously (parenteral). This improves the level of effectiveness. There will be one hundred percentage bioavailability, and the drug can be given in large amounts. Though this method has a disadvantages that its toxic levels cannot be reversed if given wrongly hence requires a particular person to administer.
DRUG TEST
Before starting use of the drug in humans, the drug is first tested on assay cell cultures to determine its toxicity levels and drug effectiveness in people. Culture to be used is to be developed in laboratories and should contain the pathogenic organisms intended to be treated. I consider this method to be the best since it helps in making sure those animals (e.g., monkeys) that are commonly for laboratory testing don’t decrease in number reducing the risk of extinction and reducing risks of toxicity on human beings.
The cultures to be used are bacterial, viral, and fungal and helminths cultures to ensure efficient use of the drug and that it treats all infectious disease with minimal side effects to the patients that it will be utilized on.
Though this process is complicated and involves many steps it's imperative.
