AB The  first  edition  of  Goodman  &  Gilman,  published  in  1941,  helped  to  organize  the  field  of  pharmacology,  giving  it  intellectual  validity  and  an  academic  identity.  That  edition  began:  “The  subject  of  pharmacology  is  a  broad  one  and  embraces  the  knowledge  of  the  source,  physical  and  chemical  properties,  compounding,  physiological  actions,  absorption,  fate,  and  excretion,  and  therapeutic  uses  of  drugs.  A  drug  may  be  broadly  defined  as  any  chemical  agent  that  affects  living  protoplasm,  and  few  substances  would  escape  inclusion  by  this  definition.”  In  practice,  of  course,  a  chemical  or  biological  agent  is  considered  a  legal  drug  only  if  it  has  been  approved  as  such  by  a  national  regulatory  agency,  such  as  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  or  the  European  Medicines  Agency;  these  approved  compounds  are  the  focus  of  this  book.
