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.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 63

    Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists. Every fifth volume ofAdvances in Heterocyclic Chemistry contains a cumulative subject index.

  • Side Effects of Drugs Annual

    A Worldwide Yearly Survey of New Data and Trends
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 18
    • English
    Under the supervision of the series editors, an international team of expert authors have gathered together the latest information on adverse drug effects from the international literature. In addition to describing new reports of adverse drug effects, the authors have subjected those reports to critical analysis, setting them into context in terms of clinical relevance and importance, and cross-referring to previous reports where necessary. New adverse effects are reported and evaluated and previously reported adverse effects are re-evaluated in the light of the most recent information. A special feature is the reviews, in which selected adverse effects are discussed in depth. The use of the book is enhanced by three separate indexes, allowing the reader to enter the text by drug name, adverse effect name, or drug interaction.

  • The Chemistry and Pharmacology of Taxol® and its Derivatives

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 22
    • H. Timmerman
    • V. Farina
    • English
    Taxol®, a naturally occurring diterpenoid is one of the most exciting antitumor drugs available today. Its current indications (refractory ovarian and metastatic breast cancer) may soon be expanded since the drug is showing activity against lung and head-and-neck cancers.The book opens with a review of the naturally occurring taxoids, a chapter which is not a comprehensive list of all taxoids isolated to date, but attempts a systematic approact to describing the different classes of taxoids, with particular reference to all skeletal types and the various functionality patterns. Biosynthetic studies are also discussed, as well as some of the basic chemistry and common functionalities of taxoidic skeleton. Structural identification of taxoids, mostly by spectroscopic means; the formulation of taxanes; the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of Taxol® are also discussed, as are the chemistry of taxanes in relation to SAR studies; SAR aspects of the phenylisoserine side chain; and the mode of action of the taxanes and the mechanisms of resistance.The book is therefore written for medical chemists, in order to stimulate further research in this area and to provide the reader with the necessary background information to start a research program in the area.

  • Immunopharmacology of Free Radical Species

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    Free radicals have been implicated in a entire host of different human disease states, which suggests that although they may not have a pivotal causal role, they are involved in the perpetuation of disease. In recentyears, it has become evident that although free radicals most certainly do have this role in perpetuating inflammatory reactions, they have perhaps a far more important role in acting as second messenger systems to maintain normal cell function. It is theperturbations of these reactions which pose the most intriguing therapeutic challenges. This volume deals with various basic mechanisms of free radical processes and injury. The emphasis in each case is on potential therapeutic strategies developing fromthis new knowledge.

  • Advances in Pharmacology
