Pharmacology is a rapidly progressing area of biomedical research, with new developments surfacing at regular intervals, constantly revolutionizing drug therapy for disease states. The interaction of this discipline with other biomedical sciences has opened up new vistas and opportunities in drug design and development. Basic and clinical concepts in the mechanism and use of drugs are carefully integrated into hypotheses, which are aimed at the maintenance of a critical balance between health and disease. Current Trends in Pharmacology is a comprehensive collection of topics highly significant in the current health scenario. The book comprises a combination of articles in clinical and experi...
Over the years, India has attained a prominent global position in the manufacture of Generic Drugs. This success can be attributed to its synthetic organic chemistry and chemical engineering strengths, nurtured by the timely policies of the Government of India. However, breakthrough successes in New Drug Discovery have remained elusive, despite the brilliant and sustained efforts of many Indian researchers and Pharma establishments. The Indian National Science Academy thought it appropriate to document India’s New Drug Discovery Research (NDDR) journey to date. Gathering contributions from prominent researchers in the Indian Pharma Industry and Academia, this book highlights their efforts, achievements, and the status quo of Indian NDDR.

This book bridges the gap between fundamental and translational research in the area of heart disease. It describes a multidisciplinary approach, and demonstrates biochemical mechanisms associated with dysregulation of redox signaling, which leads heart disease. Presenting recent studies on improved forms of ROS scavenging enzymes; specific inhibitors for different ROS generating enzymes; and oxidant induced signaling pathways and their antagonists that allow subtle modulation of redox signaling, it also discusses the spatial and temporal aspects of oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system, which are of vital importance in developing better strategies for treating heart disease. Each chapter offers researchers valuable insights into identifying targets for drug development for different types of heart disease.
Molecular Pharmacological approaches against lung diseases: targeted drug discovery The global burden of lung diseases is rising continuously and is a constant concern. Lung diseases of concern, including asthma, infection (pneumonia), lung cancer, abnormal build-up of fluid, swelling, and inflammation, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases, are listed as the third leading cause of death by the World Health Organization. The most common disease in the lungs includes asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc. The respiratory issues listed here, among others, are exacerbated by environmental toxicants which directly come in contact with the lung architecture thereby causing lung pathologies resulting in the exacerbated immune response in affected patients. Biologically active molecules including small or large molecular weight compounds from natural or synthetic sources exhibit prominent pharmacological properties that impact health by modulating disease pathophysiology, and influence the ligand-receptor interactions, depending upon the pathway and their bioavailability.
Name is like the ornament of a person. The personality goes haywire if the ornamentation is not proper. Sometime back, people had started adopting bizarre and meaningless names. But, now with the spread of education, people have begun to show interest in good and meaningful names. Complying with this angle, the book has incorporated a collection of attractive and charming names. The amazing aspect of this book is that it prepares you for self-assessment of your name on the touchstone of Astrology so that you can evaluate your name yourself- whether it is favoring your luck or not.
Flow cytometry has rapidly evolved into a technique for rapid analysis of DNA content, cellular marker expression and electronic sorting of cells of interest for further investigations. Flow cytometers are being extensively used for monitoring of cellular DNA content, phenotype expression, drug transport, calcium flux, proliferation and apoptosis. Phenotypic analysis of marker expression in leukemic cells has become an important tool for diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring of patients. Recent studies have explored the use of flow cytometry for monitoring hormone receptor expression in human solid tumors and for studies in human genomics. Contributions in the current volume are based on presentations made at the First Indo-US workshop on Flow Cytometry in which experts from USA, UK and India discussed applications of flow cytometry in biological and medical research. This book will be of interest to post graduates and researchers in the fields of pathology, cytology, cell biology and molecular biology.
This is the first book on toxic chemicals that puts a special focus on chemical weapons and bioterrorism. Leading experts provide up-to-date pharmacological and toxicological information on chemical warfare agents, industrial chemicals, environmental toxins, metalloid and an array of miscellaneous agents including their mechanism of toxicity. Also discussed are a number of antidotes, which are being used, or currently being investigated, for the treatments of the common toxicants.
