Chemotherapeutic Agents of Control

Chemotherapeutic Agents of Control Introduction Chemotherapeutic agents ar chemical substances used to wrap up various forms of infectious diseases. The chemotherapeutic agent works by stop the bacteria from reproducing. There are two different kinds of chemotherapeutic agents. The first kind is an antibiotic, which slow drop the growth of microorganisms. The second kind of chemotherapeutic agent is synthetic drugs. Synthetic drugs are artificially do in a laboratory. Chemotherapy began in the 1940s and is now a multi-billion dollar industry.Different antibiotics and synthetic drugs all fork up different modes of satisfys and batch collect several different possibilities of side effects. Antibiotics work by finding something in the pathogen that is different in the host cell and attacks it to stop the pathogen from reproducing and causing more than harm. The side effects can melt from loss of hearing all the demeanor to discoloration of the teeth. Some may take these dru gs and have no side effects at all except to obtain better health. While others may no receive any good from the medication and have horrible side effects.The mode of action also has a wide range of possibilities depending on which drug is taken. The mode of action can range from inhibition of the cell wall all the way to destruction of the cell membrane and much(prenominal) more. all(prenominal) and every chemotherapeutic agent varies with their healthful activity. This is needed because every disease is very different. Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine that different chemotherapeutic agents are needed to treat different kinds of diseases.Since there is a wide range of possibilities this experiment is needed to determine which medication is best for certain types of microbial metabolism. This way we can evaluate the antimicrobials reaction to different chemotherapeutic agents. What reaction will the antimicrobial have on the chemotherapeutic agents that wil l be used in this experiment? Hypothesis wholly chemotherapeutic agents will affect the antimicrobial, although one chemotherapeutic agent will be much more effective than the other chemotherapeutic agents.Expectations I expect one chemotherapeutic agent to be much more effective on this certain culture. This will be the best chemotherapeutic agent to treat this certain antimicrobial disease.
