An integrated approach to the study of drug action mechanisms
Biochemical Pharmacology is a concise and contemporary textbookon the principles of drug action. It discusses representative drugsby example to explore the range of biochemical targets andmechanisms. The book explains some of the experiments that tell ushow drugs work, and it outlines the physiological and pathologicalcontext that make those action mechanisms therapeuticallyuseful.
Biochemical Pharmacology is intended primarily for students inbiology and biochemistry at the advanced undergraduate or graduatelevels. For classroom use, the illustrations from the book areseparately available as PowerPoint slides. It is written in aconversational, vivid style that readily encourages students toexplore this important area of medical science. BiochemicalPharmacology can also serve as an introduction for professionals inbiosciences, as well as in pharmaceutical and health sciences.
Complete with numerous figures throughout the text, which arealso available separately as PowerPoint slides, BiochemicalPharmacology:
* Explains the role of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, anddrug metabolism in drug action
* Provides representative examples from the pharmacology of cellexcitation, hormones, nitric oxide, chemotherapy, and others
* Examines emerging applications of ribonucleic acids as drugs anddrug targets
* Discusses what researchers need to know about the problems ofdrug distribution, elimination, and toxicity
Biochemical Pharmacology is an important resource for anyonewishing to gain an in-depth understanding of drug action mechanismsand extremely useful for researchers wishing to explore some of theunanswered questions .
