Books in Pharmacology

Elsevier's Pharmacology collection studies how drugs interact with biological systems to improve health and treat disease. It covers pharmacodynamics, exploring drug effects on biology, and pharmacokinetics, studying how the body affects drugs. Branches like Pharmacogenetics. Essential for pharmacologists, this collection offers invaluable insights into drug interactions, efficacy, and safety, crucial for advancing drug development and improving patient outcomes.

  • Progress in Medicinal Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29
    • English
    The 29th volume of the series presents yet again, an exemplary survey of a wide range of current topics in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. Eight expert reviews emphasize the relationships between chemical structure and pharmacological activity. These detailed discussions of some of the most exciting developments in the field today, will prove of great value to future research. The book begins with a study of anti-inflammatory activities of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, followed by an overview of the antiarrhythmic therapeutic possibilities offered by Class III electrophysiological agents. Structures and activities of some opioid ligands are surveyed, and the investigation into pharmacologically active pyridazine derivatives is continued. Dopamine D2 receptor agonists offer exciting therapeutic potential, as do ondansetron and related 5-HT 3 antagonists. The herbal origin of many modern drugs is yet again reflected in a survey of the herb feverfew. The volume concludes, as it began, with enzyme inhibition - in this case concerning synthetic inhibitors of interstitial collagenases.

    • Volume 20
    • English
    Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances brings this information together into one source.

    Protein-Dna Interactions
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 206
    • John N. Abelson + 1 more
    • English
    This volume represents the first collection of methodological approaches to P450 investigation which includes the use of molecular biological techniques. It is designed for use by those who study the P450 super family. Methods are presented for the identification and characterization of unique forms of P450 mRNA and protein, for expression of P450s in heterologous systems, for the study of human P450s, and for the characterization of P450s in different tissues.
