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.
Basic Concepts in Pharmacology: What You Need to Know for Each Drug
Class is not a conventional review book for pharmacology. It is a book to help
you organize your attack on the hundreds of drugs covered in pharmacology
classes today. Our survey for the first edition of this book made it clear that
it is the number of drugs in a particular class that students find overwhelming.
This fear causes many students to lose focus on the most important part of
pharmacology—the concepts.
Pharmacology
is a broad discipline encompassing every aspect of the study of drugs, including
their discovery and development and the testing of their action in the body.
This book aims to explain how scientists unravel the many different ways
medicines work in the body and how this information guides the hunt for drugs of
the future.

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 gives an overview of all
the known anticoagulants that can be useful for studying different aspects of
the haemostatic system or as a starting point for new drug development. It is
also a valuable tool for clinicians providing a description of the mode of
action and management of therapy for anticoagulant drugs used in daily clinical
practice in different clinical settings, including direct oral anticoagulants
dabigatran, rivaroxaban, edoxaban and apixaban .
This
contribution book collects reviews and original articles from eminent experts
working in the interdisciplinary arena of novel drug delivery systems and their
uses. Topics covered includes: Hot-Melt Extrusion, Development and Investigation
of Dry Powder Inhalers for Cystic Fibrosis, The Role of Carrier in Dry Powder
Inhaler, Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery, Lipid Nanoparticulate Drug Delivery
Systems, Niosomes as Carrier in Dermal Drug Delivery, Magnetic Nanoparticles,
Targeted Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy, Amphiphilic Cyclodextrins, Synthesis,
Utilities and Application of Molecular Modeling in Their Design, Nanoparticles
Toxicity and Their Routes of Exposures.
This book considers the basic principles of biopharmaceutics and
pharmacokinetics. It also illustrates clinical pharmacokinetic applications,
such as recirculatory models, common antimalarial drugs, and clinical
pharmacokinetic principles in critically ill patients, which are essential for
medical professionals.
It is
hoped that these guidelines will be used by all health care workers in their
daily care of patients suffering from respiratory diseases. Topics covered
includes: Drugs used in respiratory diseases, Inhalation drug delivery
devices, Pulmonary function testing, Asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, Cough, Upper respiratory tract Infections, Lower respiratory tract
Infections, Suppurative lung disease, Interstitial lung disease, Pre- and
post-operative Respiratory assessment.

This
lecture note on pharmacology is primarily a note for undergraduate health
science students such as health officer, nursing, midwifery and laboratory
technology students. The chapters open with a list of objectives to guide the
reader, and most end with questions which challenge the reader’s understanding
of the concepts covered with in the chapter. Most sections have an introduction
that provides an overview of the material to be covered.

This book covers the
following topics: Basic Principles, Autonomic Pharmacology, Anesthesia, Pain
medications, Antimicrobial agents, Cardiovascular Pharmacology.
