Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between a natural drug, a semisynthetic drug, and a synthetic drug should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Any substance, that when taken by living organisms, may modify one or more functions are said to be drugs.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Any substance, that when taken by living organisms, may modify one or more functions are said to be drugs. They are classified as natural, semisynthetic and synthetic as. The difference between them is as follows:
Natural drug | Semisynthetic drug | Synthetic drug |
It can be found in nature and will not require strong physical or chemical procedure changes. | These are derived from nature, but the chemical structure of the drug is altered. These drugs require more sophisticated separation or synthesis procedures. | They are chemically derived drugs. They are not found in nature, they are synthesized in labs. |
For example: Nicotine. | For example: Cocaine | For example: Morphine |
