Understanding Experimental Pharmacology is a unique book, written to meet the demands of pharmacology. It covers the practical aspects of experimental pharmacology to close the gap of understanding between pharmacodynamics and pharmacotherapeutics with the help of a large number of charts, graphs, flow diagrams and viva voce questions.
Celebrating 100 years of HEP, this volume will discuss key pharmacological discoveries and concepts of the past 100 years. These discoveries have dramatically changed the medical treatment paradigms of many diseases and these concepts have and will continue to shape discovery of new medicinies. Newly evolving technologies will similarly be discussed as they will shape the future of the pharmacology and, accordingly, medical therapy.

Following its successful predecessor, this book covers the fundamentals, delivery routes and vehicles, and practical applications of drug delivery. In the 2nd edition, almost all chapters from the previous are retained and updated and several new chapters added to make a more complete resource and reference. • Helps readers understand progress in drug delivery research and applications • Updates and expands coverage to reflect advances in materials for delivery vehicles, drug delivery approaches, and therapeutics • Covers recent developments including transdermal and mucosal delivery, lymphatic system delivery, theranostics • Adds new chapters on nanoparticles, controlled drug release systems, theranostics, protein and peptide drugs, and biologics delivery
This book is a compilation of specific techniques used in understanding the basic principles of pharmacology and also the evaluation of potential drugs. It has a practical and applied approach to biological evaluation techniques. Step-by-step procedures for the identification of unknown compounds for specific pharmacological activity are given in a lucid manner which provides an opportunity to investigators to carry out screening procedures of compounds of either known or unknown pharmacological activity. The experiments on bioassay have been written in such a way that a student can perform a variety of different experiments on this topic.
In this Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology on “High Density Lipoproteins – from biological understanding to clinical exploitation” contributing authors (members of COST Action BM0904/HDLnet) summarize in more than 20 chapters our current knowledge on the structure, function, metabolism and regulation of HDL in health and several diseases as well as the status of past and ongoing attempts of therapeutic exploitation. The book is of interest to researchers in academia and industry focusing on lipoprotein metabolism, cardiovascular diseases and immunology as well as clinical pharmacologists, cardiologists, diabetologists, nephrologists and other clinicians interested in metabolic or inflammatory diseases.
The objective of this volume is to give an overview of the present state of the art of pediatric clinical pharmacology including developmental physiology, pediatric-specific pathology, special tools and methods for development of drugs for children (assessment of efficacy, toxicity, long-term safety etc.) as well as regulatory and ethical knowledge and skills. In the future, structural and educational changes have to lead back to a closer cooperation and interaction of pediatrics with (clinical) pharmacology and pharmacy.
In the context of drug discovery and development, in vivo experimentation should be performed only if is necessary and well-conceived. From both an ethical and practical perspective, in vitro bioassays are more viable and efficacious in the preliminary pharmacological screening of a newly-discovered drug molecule. This book will be of immense value to both the experienced as well as new researchers in biomedicine. It discusses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antileshmanial and anticancer bioassays. Additionally the book discusses the basic concepts governing experimental pharmacology and a chapter dealing with enzyme-based bioassays has also been incorporated. The assays described in the book include step-by-step experimental procedures preceded with an explanation of the principal and theory governing the procedure.
Heparins remain amongst the most commonly used drugs in clinical practice. Almost 100 years have passed since the initial discovery of this complex substance and, during this time, understanding of the nature and uses of heparin and related molecules has grown dramatically. The aim of this volume is to summarise the developments that have led to the current status of both heparins as drugs and the field of heparin research, with a focus on the particularly rapid progress that has been made over the past three decades. Individual sections are dedicated to the nature of heparin as a biological molecule, the current approaches and techniques that are used to ensure the safety and reliability of heparin as a medicine, the clinical pharmacology of heparin as an anticoagulant drug, effects and potential applications of heparin aside of those involving haemostasis and, finally, the nature and potential uses of heparin-like materials from both natural and synthetic sources.
