Suggestions for Pharmacology paper

[CaliCPhT]

Hi everyone. For my pharmacology class this semester, we have to write a 7-10 page literature review paper on a drug or pharmacological principle. Just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions? I had this same professor for another class last semester, and we had to write a review paper on a disease. I wrote about pulmonary hypertension. While I could probably write more in depth about the different treatment options for PAH (ambrisentan, sildenafil, etc.), I'd like to explore other options. Plus, I don't know if he'd appreciate me using a lot of the same literature as the previous paper. It's an easy way out though.

So, any suggestions?

What about atropine? There are so many uses for it.

The role of beta 3 receptors in MDMA overdose....why carvedilol was (and may still be) being deeply explored as a potential "antidote" to MDMA-induced symptomatology....and more importantly why carvedilol would be preferred over other beta antagonists..

Well, you've already covered part of sildenafil p-col.. delve into it further and write why one ---fil is more longer acting than the other in ED.

I like this one too! Very interesting!! I am concerned about finding enough journal articles to write a quality paper. Did I mention it has to be 7-10 pages? From a quick online search I found a reference to Critical Care Medicine. I am guessing if I can get my hands on that article, then I'll be able to find other articles from the references...

**** WVU, that's a really interesting idea. I may use this as my seminar topic next semester. Hopefully no one else knows about it [I hadn't heard of it before], so I won't get grilled 😀

Here is the link to a good trial they did in rats....it'll lead you in the right direction. Beta 3 related **** is always a good topic. It does so much for metabolism, yet it is touched upon so little academically. Another good one to maybe think about for the future --> PPAR-delta agonism. That's an interesting ball of pharmacology in and of itself as well. When you see what IT did to rats, it'll make your eyes pop out of their sockets..

It's probably going to blow away your pre-health crew 😀

LOL... Maybe so. This professor is an MD and I think he'd enjoy reading something different. I made a 100 on last semester's paper on PAH, so I'm hoping to get a very similar grade.
