From the Reviews of Previous Volumes"In perusing these chapters, I found much of interest. It is worth investigating."-P. BRICKNELL"Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist - for whom the numerous references will be invaluable - but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are ocncerned with the living cell."BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNALKey Features* Provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology * Contributions from leaders in their fields * Abundant references
This volume contains the proceedings of the third in a series of conferences entitled, The International Symposium on Biological Reactive Intermediates. The first was held at the University of Turku in Finland, in 1975, the second at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, in 1980 and the most recent at the University of Maryland in the United States, in 1985. The significance of these conferences has been emphasized by the rapid growth of mechanistic toxicology over the last decade. These conferences were initially stimulated by the attempt to uncover the significance behind the observations that the toxicity of carcinogenic responses produced by many chemicals was associated with t...
This book thoroughly explores the predictive role of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics in drug discovery and in improving success rates and safety assessments of chemicals.
This volume on drug metabolism covers the contribution that transgenic animal research, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, CNS penetration advances and anticancer drugs can make to the subject.
In-depth coverage of advances in molecular biology, indicating the importance of drug and xenobiotic conjugates as transport forms of biologically active compounds. Part One describes molecular events associated with the expression and regulation of transferases and hydrolases involved in Phase II drug conjugation and deconjugation. Part Two deals with the regulation of Phase II conjugation, while Part Three critically reviews the importance of drug conjugates in pharmacology and toxicology. An up-to-date source of information of broad interest to pharmacologists and toxicologists.
This text investigates the molecular biology of conjugation, and the subsequent activity of the transfered genes "in vivo". Conjugation may be very important when considering biotransformations, as expression of transfered genes may allow organisms to metabolize certain substrates.
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.Conjugation reactions have long been associated with the detoxification of xenobiotics. Recent studies suggest that Phase II reactions are an important mechanism for the bioactivation of xenobiotics.This special volume of Advances in Pharmacology features a two-color dust jacket.Summarizes the most recent information on: - Xenobiotic conjugation - Drug toxicity, hypersensitivity, and targeting - Chemical carcinogenesis - Glutathione-, sulfate conjugate-, and glucuranide conjugate-dependent toxicity - Bioactivation and bioconversion
