These have long been observed to be very large; and it was on remarking the impossibility, according to our ideas, of exhibiting them with safety to human life, or even of escaping destruction under their influence, that my observation was first drawn to the subject of ancient posology.

af

(pharmacology) A coumarin salt, warfarin sodium, found in certain clovers, that retards blood coagulation:

Manufactured as a pharmaceutical drug and used in low dosage, with regular monitoring, for the prevention of thrombosis and embolism.

Manufactured as a chemical, used in high dosage as a pesticide.

In the case of pathological hypercoagulative conditions such as thrombosis and embolism, 4-hydroxycoumarin based oral anticoagulants, including warfarin as a well-known example, are administered to block the enzymatic function of VKORC1, effectively diminishing turnover of the vitamin K cycle.

neuroleptic

Borrowed from French neuroleptique, coined by Jean Delay and Pierre Deniker in 1955. Constructed from Ancient Greek νεῦρον (neûron, “neuron”) and λῆψις (lêpsis), noun form of λαμβάνω (lambánō, “take hold of”).

The time has come, therefore, to establish some definite criteria for the new drugs that Delay called neuroleptics, of which chlorpromazine and reserpine are the primary ones, although chemically different.

1956, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Psychopathology & Quarterly Review of Psychiatry and Neurology, volume 17, page 383:

Neuroleptics, the first psychopharmacological treatments reported to be effective in adults, were interpreted as potent antianxiety drugs giving rise to the term "major tranquilizer" that was popular in the United States until the early 1970s and were also used to treat anxiety symptoms in children (as were other agents, including psychostimulants and antihistamintes).

1990, N. Sartorius, Anxiety: Psychobiological and Clinical Perspectives, page 259:

Thus initially neuroleptics may increase DA turnover and possibly even its action depending on the degree of postsynaptic block.

2001, Roy Webster, Neurotransmitters, Drugs and Brain Function, page 359:


neuroleptic

By mouth in doses of 2 to 3 grains, combined with neuroleptic drugs, it has enabled us to bring about a certain number of improvements in chronic schizophrenics.

1959, Psychopharmacology frontiers : proceedings of the pyschopharmacology symposium, page 131:

The mechanisms underlying the appearance of the parkinson-like symptoms during neuroleptic treatments are not ascertained.

1965, Horizons in Neuropsychopharmacology, page 121:

The neuroleptic drugs, and especially the phenothiazines, interact with a number of neurotransmitter systems in the brain and these actions can account for many of the pharmacological properties of the drugs.
