JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3el022

According to the standard NCERT classification, select all correct pairs of drug group and basis of classification.

  1. Aantipyretics - pharmacological effect
  2. Bsulphonamides - chemical structure
  3. Cantihistamines - chemical structure
  4. Ddrugs acting on nucleic acids - molecular target

Answer: A, B, D

Antipyretics are named by effect, sulphonamides by shared structure, and the nucleic-acid group by the biomolecule targeted. Antihistamines are grouped by what they do (block histamine action), i.e. drug action, so (c) is wrong.
