Rise and fall of Acetanilide usage and essentiality of Paracetamol drug
Description
Carcinogenic effect of Acetanlide and re-entry of Acetanilide into medical field, i.e., the Acetanilide entering into medical field in it's derivative form thereby saving human society. Abstract (English) Discovery and History of Paracetamol: Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a widely used over-the-counter medication for pain relief and fever reduction. The discovery and history of paracetamol involve a combination of scientific research, medical anthropology, and pharmaceutical development. Early History *Ancient Use of Willow Bark: The use of willow bark, which contains salicin, a compound similar to aspirin, dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians and Greeks. *19th-Century Development: In the 19th century, chemists began to isolate and purify salicin from willow bark, leading to the development of aspirin. Discovery of Paracetamol *1950s Research: In the 1950s, researchers at McNeil Laboratories in the United States began investigating alternatives to aspirin. They discovered that a compound called N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP), later known as paracetamol, had analgesic and antipyretic properties. *Clinical Trials: Clinical trials in the 1950s and 1960s demonstrated the efficacy and safety of paracetamol as a pain reliever and fever reducer. Medical Anthropology Aspects *Cultural Perceptions of Pain and Fever: Medical anthropology can provide insights into how different cultures perceive and experience pain and fever, which may have influenced the development and use of paracetamol. *Traditional Medicine and Pharmaceutical Development: The discovery of paracetamol can be seen as an example of how traditional medicine (e.g., willow bark) can inform pharmaceutical development. *Globalization and Access to Medications: Medical anthropology can examine how globalization and access to medications like paracetamol have impacted health outcomes and healthcare systems worldwide. While medical anthropology may not have directly contributed to the discovery of paracetamol, it can provide valuable insights into the cultural, social, and economic contexts that have shaped the development and use of this medication.
