Biopharmaceuticals are derived from biological sources,
either live organisms or their active components; nowadays, they are mainly
produced by biotechnologies. This book encompasses the discovery, production,
application, and regulation of biopharmaceuticals to demonstrate their research
achievement, prospects, and challenges.
The purpose of this book is to
bring together scholarly articles that highlight recent developments and trends
in pharmaceutical formulation science. This book aims to serve the need of all
individuals involved at any level in the pharmaceutical dosage form
development.
This
book explains the following topics: Continental Medicine Chests, Treason, Poison
and Siege, , Privateers To The Rescue, Brisk Business In Boston, Valley Forge.
This book is a fruit
of a collaborative work from several international scientists. It will be a
useful resource for researchers, students, and clinicians. Each individual
chapter could serve as a prescribed reading for postgraduate students and
clinicians specializing in and practicing clinical pharmacology and toxicology,
pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacovigilance, and toxicovigilance,
as well as those involved in clinical research, drug discovery, and
development.
This book introduces the
Standard Treatment Guidelines and Essential Medicines List for Hospital Level.
The chapters are arranged according to the organ systems of the body. Conditions
and medicines are cross referenced in two separate indexes of the book.

Natural products are a constant source of potentially active
compounds for the treatment of various disorders.Plant derived secondary
metabolites have been used by humans to treat acute infections, health disorders
and chronic illness for tens of thousands of years. Only during the last 100
years have natural products been largely replaced by synthetic drugs.Books on
drug discovery will play vital role in the new era of disease treatment using
natural products.
Bioactive Food Peptides in Health and Disease highlights
