Antidotes: Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Directions
Abstract
Antidotes are critical therapeutic agents used to counteract the effects of toxins, poisons, or overdoses. This paper provides a comprehensive review of antidotes, including their mechanisms of action, clinical applications, challenges in development, and future directions in research and innovation. We present detailed tables summarizing key antidotes, their indications, mechanisms of action, and pharmacokinetic properties. The paper highlights the importance of antidotes in toxicology and emergency medicine, emphasizing the need for continued innovation and accessibility. Keywords: antidotes, poisoning, toxicology, mechanisms of action, chelation therapy, receptor antagonism, enzyme reactivation, nanomedicine, artificial intelligence, universal antidotes.
