    Classification of Drugs Acting On CNS

    Uploaded by

    This document classifies drugs that act on the central nervous system into two major groups: CNS stimulant drugs and CNS depressant drugs. CNS stimulant drugs are further divided based on the part of the CNS they act on, their mechanism of action, and their clinical uses. CNS depressant drugs are classified as tranquillizers, hypnotic sedatives, general anesthetics, analgesics, central muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants, and neuroleptanalgesics based on their therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action. The central nervous system is sensitive to drug effects and these classifications help understand how different drugs influence CNS function.

    Classification of drugs acting on Central

    Nervous System

    Assistant Professor
    Deptt. of Veterinary Pharmacology & Toxicology
    Bihar Veterinary College, Bihar Animal Sciences University, Patna
    Classification of drugs acting on
    Central Nervous System
     The CNS is an extremely Complex and heterogeneous
    system. It is the major coordinating system of the body
    & source of adjustment of an organism to its
    environment.
     Function-rapid communication system and is responsible
    for moment to moment control of various body activities.
     It regulates-rapidly changing visceral events, muscle
    contractions, secretions of some endocrine glands and
    functioning of the body system.
    Classification of drugs acting contd…

    on CNS
     The CNS is more sensitive to effects of drugs than
    any other system of the body.

     A large number of drugs influence the CNS as a major


    part of their therapeutic effect (e. g,. anaesthesia),
    side effect & toxic effect, divided into two major
    groups:
    CNS stimulants drugs
    CNS depressant drugs
    CNS stimulants drugs
    Classification
    1. On the basis of part of CNS where drug act:
     Spinal Stimulants or convulsants: Strychnine,
    picrotoxin
     Medullary Stimulants: Doxapram, Bemegride,
    Picrotoxin, Nikethamide, Leptazol
     Cortical Stimulants: Cocaine, amphetamine,
    methylxanthines.
    CNS stimulants drugs contd…

    Classification
    2. On the basis of action (Direct or Indirect):
     Direct acting stimulants : Strychnine, picrotoxin
    and xanthenes derivatives.
     Indirect (Reflexly) acting stimulants: lobeline,
    ammonia, Veratrum, nicotine.
    CNS stimulants drugs contd…

    Classification
    3. On the basis of clinical uses:
     Analeptics: Nikethamide, bemegride, doxapram.
     Psychostimulents: Amphetamines,
    methylphenidate, cocaine, methylxanthines,
    caffeine, theophylline.
     Cerebroactive drugs: Piracetam, dihydroergotoxine,
    Pyritinol.
    CNS depressant drugs

    Classification
     Tranquillizer sedatives : Chlorpromazine, Azaperone,
    Droperidol, Haloperidol.
    (Neuroleptics, Ataractics, Tranquillizers)

     Hypnotic sedatives : Chloralhydrate, Xylazine,


    Detomidine, Medetomidine, Phenobarbitone,
    Diazepam, Zolazepam.
    CNS depressant drugs contd…

    Classification
     General Anaesthetics: Ether, Halothane,
    Enflurane, Isoflurane, Chloroform,
    Methoxyflurane
     Analgesics : Acetylsalicylate, Salicylate,
    Phenylbutazone, Isopyrin, Ibuprofen
    CNS depressant drugs contd…

    Classification
     Central muscle relaxants: Guaiphenesin,
    Mephenesin.

     Anticonvulsants : Phenobarbitone, Phenytoin,


    Diazepam, Carbamazepine, (Antiepileptics)
    Ethosuximide

     Neuroleptanalgesics: Fentanyl + Droperidol
