This advanced level textbook provides a comprehensive overview ofrecent developments in the area of molecular based diagnostics(including nucleic acids, biosensors and immunoessays) of diseasemarkers. It also covers the impact of techniques such as in vitronucleic acid amplifications (e.g. PCR) and other amplificationmethods, as well as gene and biochip production and automatedtechniques such as fluorescent sequencing. The book discusses key concepts where new and merging areas,including pharmacogenomics, proteomics and functional genomics, arebeing researched and developed. In addition, examples are givenwhere this new area of bioscience has or may be successfullyapplied.
A comprehensive look at current drug discovery and development methods—and the roadmap for the future Providing both understanding and guidance in characterizing potential drugs and their production and synthesis, Development of Therapeutic Agents Handbook gives professionals a basic tool to facilitate research and development within this challenging process. This comprehensive text brings together, in one resource, a compendium of concepts, approaches, methodologies, and limitations that need to be considered in the formulation of therapeutic agents across a range of therapeutic fields. Both a reference and a call to action for the pharmaceutical industry, Development of Therapeutic Agent...
Based on the international workshop on 'Small Molecule - Protein Interactions' held in Berlin, April 24-26, 2002, researchers from industry and academic laboratories describe novel and efficient ways selecting promising new drug targets and developing small molecule inhibitors against them. The structure of the book corresponds to the different aspects of the drug discovery process. All chapters are written by leading experts in the field, who present and discuss the most recent state-of-the-art tools and techniques for the development of novel drugs. The value of the book lies in surveying and summarizing the approaches taken by different companies and institutions giving the reader a balanced view on the use of the latest techniques on the one hand and experience-based assistance in selecting appropriate tools for their own work on the other hand.

The ADME Encyclopedia covers pharmacokinetic phenomena (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion processes) and their relationship with the design of pharmaceutical carriers and the success of drug therapies. It covers both basic and advanced knowledge, serving as introductory material for students of biomedical careers and also as reference, updated material for graduates and professionals working in any field related to pharmaceutical sciences (medicine, pharmaceutical technology, materials science, medicinal chemistry). Structured as alphabetically ordered entries with cross-references, the Encyclopedia not only provides basic knowledge on ADME processes, but also detailed entries on some advanced subjects such as drug transporters, last generation pharmaceutical carriers, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine, bioequivalence studies, biowaivers, biopharmaceuticals, gene delivery, pharmacometrics, pharmacokinetic drug interactions or in silico and in vitro assessment of ADME properties
Sensors and Probes for Bioimaging A fulsome exploration of the history, design, and application of bioimaging probes and sensors In Sensors and Probes for Bioimaging, distinguished researcher Professor Young-Tae Chang and Professor Nam-Young Kang deliver a comprehensive discussion of bioimaging achieved with sensors and probes. In the book, readers will find a complete discussion of the history of colorful sensors and probes, probe design and the mechanisms of staining, as well as cell and tissue application and whole-body imaging. You’ll learn how probes can be used, how to choose and use a variety of probes, and new directions in research and application in the area of sensors and probes...
Can academia save the pharmaceutical industry? The pharmaceutical industry is at a crossroads. The urgent need for novel therapies cannot stem the skyrocketing costs and plummeting productivity plaguing R&D, and many key products are facing patent expiration. Dr. Rathnam Chaguturu presents a case for collaboration between the pharmaceutical industry and academia that could reverse the industry's decline. Collaborative Innovation in Drug Discovery: Strategies for Public and Private Partnerships provides insight into the potential synergy of basing R&D in academia while leaving drug companies to turn hits into marketable products. As Founder and CEO of iDDPartners, focused on pharmaceutical in...
This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status of and future trends in natural products—a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and biology concerned with isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and chemical characteristics of naturally occurring compounds such as pheromones, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes. With more than 1,800 color figures, Comprehensive Natural Products II features 100% new material and complements rather than replaces the original work (©1999). Reviews the accumulated efforts of chemical and biological research to understand living organisms and their distinctive effects on health and medicine Stimulates new ideas am...
The book bridges the gap between pharmaceutics and molecular modelling at the micro, meso and macro scale. It covers Lipinski's rule of five, nanoparticulate drug delivery, computational prediction of drug solubility and ability to cross blood brain barrier, computer-based simulation of pharmacokinetic parameters, virtual screening of mucoadhesive polymers, QSPR modelling, designing of 2D nanomaterials and role of principal component analysis.
