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.

  • DNA Topoisomearases: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29A
    • English
    Each volume of Advances in Pharmacology provides a rich collection of reviews on timely topics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular basis of drug action, both applied and experimental.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61
    • English
    Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and most biological scientists. Every fifth volume ofAdvances in Heterocyclic Chemistry contains a cumulative subject index.

  • Side Effects of Drugs Annual

    A Worldwide Yearly Critical Survey of New Data and Trends
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 17
    • 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.

  • Progress in Medicinal Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 31
    • English
    This book contains six chapters, each of which is a self-contained, thorough review by an expert in the field of a particular topic in medicinal chemistry, bacteriology or pharmacology. Each topic is a currently active subject of research in either the quest for new drugs or a better understanding of the role of known biochemical phenomena. In addition, all of the chapters contain an extensive list of relevant reference books, papers and other publications. The book will be of great interest to medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists, and will serve as a valuable source of reference.

  • Cyclic GMP: Synthesis, Metabolism, and Function

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26
    • English
    This volume is dedicated to the topic of cyclic GMP. Chapters include discussions on the guanylyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase isoenzyme families for cyclic GMP synthesis and hydrolysis, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases, and various hormones and ligands that regulate cyclic GMP formation and/or metabolism. Several chapters also deal with some of the effects of cyclic GMP on other second messengers such as calcium ion transport and smooth muscle relaxation. Some clinical studies with cyclic GMP and atrial natriuretic peptide are also discussed. The last chapter raises many important questions in the field that remain to be addressed.

  • Sigma Receptors

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 12
    • English
    This is the 12th in the Neuroscience Perspectives Series. The existence of sigma receptors in the central nervous system has only relatively recently been established. In line with the aims of Neuroscience Perspectives, this volume will cover the historical background of the subject, together with the physiological, molecular biological and pharmacological aspects, with a discussion on the concept of sigma receptors subtypes and their postulated relevance for CNS disorders.

  • Immunopharmacology of Neutrophils

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    About the Series:The consequences for diseases involving the immune system such as AIDS, and chronic inflammatory diseases such as bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis, now account for a considerable economic burden to governments worldwide. In response there has been an enormous research effort investigating the basic mechanisms underlying such diseases, and a tremendous drive to identify novel therapeutic applications for their prevention and treatment. Though a plethora of immunological studies have been published in recent years, little has been written about the implications of such research for drug development. As a consequence, this area has not gained the prominence of other new fields such as molecular pharmacology or neuropharmacology, and a focal information source for the many pharmacologists interested in diseases of the immune system remains unpublished. The Handbook of Immunopharmacology series provides such a source through the commissioning of a comprehensive collection of volumes on all aspects of immunopharmacology. Editors have been sought after for each volume who are not only active in their respective areas of expertise, but who also have a distinctly pharmacological bias to their research. The series follows three main themes, each represented by volumes on individual component topics. The first covers each of the major cell types and classes of inflammatory mediators ("cells and mediators"). The second covers each of the major organ systems and the diseases involving the immune and inflammatory responses that can affect them ("systems"). The third covers different classes of drugs currently used to treat these diseases as well as those under development ("drugs"). About the Book:This book addresses the key issues that face neutrophils during their very short but extremely important lives. The discovery that neutrophils have the capacity to phagocytose and kill foreign organisms set the stage for a fascinating research field that continues to stimulate exciting new findings throughout the world. Neutrophils target the sites of infection or injury, and are thus equipped with sensors for soluble signals ("chemoattractants") generated in the tissue in response to tissue infection or injury, and sensors for molecules on surfaces. These receptors are important so that the cell can distinguish, for example, activated endothelium to stimulate adherence and emigration, or alternatively the bacterial surface to stimulate phagocytosis and killing. A deficiency in any of these mechanisms can result in life-threatening infection. An over-reaction can result in damage to the tissues that the neutrophil should be programmed to protect.

  • The G-Protein Linked Receptor Facts Book

    • 1st Edition
    • Steve Arkinstall
    • English
    How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact?The Academic Press FactsBook series will satisfy scientists and clinical researchers suffering from information overload. Each volume provides a catalogue of the essential properties of families of molecules. Gene organization, amino acid sequences, physicochemical properties, and biological activity are presented using a common , easy–to-follow format. Taken together they compile everything you wanted to know about proteins but were too busy to look for.
