Abstract

The field of pharmacology plays a crucial role in the treatment of human diseases by developing and studying drugs that target specific molecular mechanisms associated with various illnesses. This essay explores the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of drugs against human diseases. The methodology involved in drug discovery and development, as well as the results of various studies, will be discussed. Additionally, the implications of these findings for future research and clinical practice will be considered.
