The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the three statements provided and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement I:** - **Statement:** Drug action is based on a particular biochemical process. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. The action of drugs indeed relies on specific biochemical processes. Different drugs interact with biological systems in various ways, often targeting specific biochemical pathways. 2. **Evaluate Statement II:** - **Statement:** Antihistamines inhibit the action of the compound histamines which cause allergies. - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. Antihistamines work by blocking the receptors that histamines bind to, thereby preventing the allergic symptoms that histamines would normally cause. 3. **Evaluate Statement III:** - **Statement:** Drugs interact with macromolecular targets and produce a biological response. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct as well. Drugs typically interact with macromolecules such as proteins, enzymes, or nucleic acids in the body, leading to a biological response. ### Conclusion: All three statements (I, II, and III) are correct. ### Choosing the Appropriate Option: - The options provided are: 1. 1 and 2 2. 1 and 3 3. 2 and 3 4. All of these Since all three statements are correct, the correct option is **Option 4: All of these.**

Neurotransmitter acetycholine is released as nerve impulse reaches the end of axon and binds to receptor sites of motor end plate. II. Action potential passes from motor end plate over sarcoplasmic and then into the T-tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum. III. Calcium ion are released into the sarcoplasm bind to troponin, causing a change in its shape and position. IV. Myosin cross bridges are able to bind to exposed active sites of actin. Choose the correct option.

Drug price watchdog National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has decided to invoke the 'public interest' clause in the drugs law more often to pressure companies to reduce prices of medicines that go up more than 20% in a year. The pricing body has also decided to limit its communication with companies to just one reminder asking them to respond to the show-cause notice on why the drug should not be recommended for price control, sources told ET. NPPA has now started scrutinising the fluctuations in the price-to-retailer of 48,600 formulation packs every month. Every month, two to three formulations are likely to get caught on an average. So far, NPPA has recommended 45 cases of alleged abnormal price increase to the chemicals Ministry for appropriate action, on which the ministry has sent notices to 11 companies asking them to reduce prcies or face price control. With reference to the above case, identify the element of marketing discussed.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Reduction of carboxylic acids and their derivatives plays an important role in organic synthesis, in both laboratory and industrial processes. Traditionally, the reduction is performed using stochiometric amounts of hydride reagents, generating stochiometric amounts of waste. A much more attractive, atom-economical approach is a catalytic reaction using H_2 , however, hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives under mild conditions is a very challenging task, with amides presenting the highest challenge among all classes of carbonyl compounds. Very few examples of the important hydrogenation of amides to amines, in which the C-O bond is cleaved with the liberation of water (Scheme 1), were reported. C-O cleavage of amides can also be affected with silanes as reducing agents. We have now prepared the new, dearomatized, bipyridine-based pincer complex 3, catalyst 3(Here refered as Cat. 3). Remarkably, it efficiently catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of amides to form amines and alcohols (eq 1). The reaction proceeds under mild pressure and neutral conditions, with no additives being required. Since the reaction proceeds well under anhydrous conditions, hydrolytic cleavage of the amide is not involved in this process. (Balaraman, E., Gnanaprakasam, B., Shimon, L. J., & Milstein, D. (2010). Direct hydrogenation of amides to alcohols and amines under mild conditions. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 132(47), 16756-16758.) In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Use of hydride catalyst or hydrogen brings about cleavage of C-O bond in amides. Reason: Hydride catalyst or hydrogen cause to reduction of amides.

In the first biological applicativon of bucky ball , chemists at the University of Califorminaat San F Francisoc and Santa Barbra made a discovery in 1993 that could help I designing drugs to rtreat AIDS . The human immunodeficienrcy virus (HIV) that causes AIES reproduces by syntheising a long protein chain , which is cut into smaller segments by an enzymecalled HiV-proteases . ONe way to stop AIDS , then might be to inacivate the enzyme. when the chemists reacted a water-soluble derivative of bucky ball with HIV-protease , they found that itbinds to the portion of th enzyme that would ordinarily clareve the repreouctive protein , preventing the HIV virus from reproducing . Consequently the virus could no bnolgre infect the human cells they had frown in the laboratory . The buycky ball compound itself is not a suitable drug for use against AIDS because of potential side effects and delivery difficaultes , but it does provide a model for the development of such drugs Consider following statements about bucky ball : A , It is also called fullerene B: It is also called Buckministerfullerene C: Bucky tubes (made of fullerenes ) are several times stronger than stel whnires D: Bucky ball is a plastic polymer Select correct statement (s) :
