    This document discusses neurologically active drugs, including tranquilizers and analgesics. [1] Tranquilizers are used to treat stress, anxiety, irritability, and mental diseases, and are sometimes used in sleeping pills. Examples include chlordiazepoxide, meprobamate, and Equanil. [2] Analgesics reduce or abolish pain without impairing consciousness. Non-narcotic analgesics like aspirin and paracetamol relieve skeletal pain and reduce fever. Narcotic analgesics like morphine relieve pain and produce sleep but can be poisonous in large doses. They are used for postoperative, cardiac, and cancer pain relief.

    CHEMISTRY IN EVERYDAY LIFE

    NEUROLOGICALLY ACTIVE DRUGS


    (A) Tranquilizers
    (B) Analgesics
    1.) Non – narcotic
    2.) Narcotic
    Drugs which affect the message transfer mechanism from nerve to receptor are known as
    neurologically active drugs .

    (1) Tranquilizers:
     These are the drugs which are used for the treatment of
    • stress
    • Anxiety
    • Irritability
    • mild or even severe mental diseases.
    • used in making sleeping pills.

     noradrenaline : It is one of the neurotransmitters that plays an important role in


    mood changes. If the level of noradrenaline is low for some reason,
    then the signal-sending activity becomes low, and the person suffers
    from depression.
     In such cases anti-depressant drugs are required which increases the level of noradrenaline .
    Some examples of such anti-depressant drugs : Iproniazid and phenelzine

     chlordiazepoxide and meprobamate, are relatively mild tranquilizers suitable for relieving
    tension.

     Equanil is used in controlling depression and hypertension.


     Barbiturates are hypnotic, i.e., sleep producing agents.
    Examples : veronal, amytal, nembutal, luminal and seconal
     Some other substances used as tranquilizers are valium and serotonin.
    (2.) Analgesics:
    Analgesics reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental
    confusion, incoordination or paralysis or some other disturbances of nervous system.
    (A) Non-narcotic (non-addictive) analgesics: Aspirin and paracetamol belong to the class
    of non-narcotic analgesics.
     prostaglandins which stimulate inflammation in the tissue that cause pain.
     relieves skeletal pain due to arthritis.
     reducing fever (antipyretic) and preventing platelet coagulation.
     Because of its anti blood clotting action, it prevents heart attacks.
     Other examples of such analgesics : Crocin , Combiflam etc .

    crocin
    Aspirina
    (B) Narcotic analgesics: Morphine and many of its homologues, when administered in
    medicinal doses, relieve pain and produce sleep.
     In poisonous doses, these produce stupor, coma, convulsions and ultimately death.
     Morphine narcotics are sometimes referred to as opiates, since they are obtained from
    the opium poppy.
     These analgesics are chiefly used for the relief of postoperative pain, cardiac pain and
    pains of terminal cancer, and in child birth.

     Some other examples of narcotic analgesics ; Microdosed LSD , oxycontin, endone etc.
