Download or read book Drug Transporters in Drug Disposition Effects and Toxicity written by Xiaodong Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides with a comprehensive overview of the role of drug transporters in drug disposition and efficacy/toxicity, as well as drug-drug interactions and recent advances in the field. Transporters are known determinants of drug disposition and efficacy/toxicity. In general, they are divided into solute carrier (SLC) and ATP binding cassette (ABC) families, and are located along cell membranes, where they mediate drug uptake into cells and export out of cells. Drug transporters are essential in maintaining cell homeostasis, and their gene mutations may cause or contribute to severe human genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, neurological disease, retinal degeneration, anemia, and cholesterol and bile transport defects. Conversely, some diseases may also alter transporter functions and expressions, in turn aggravating disease process. Further, since over-expression of some ABC transporters is a potential contributor to multidrug-resistance (MDR), the book presents a number of strategies to overcome MDR, including ABC transporter inhibitors and applying epigenetic methods to modulate transporter expressions and functions. This book is useful for graduate students and professionals who are looking to refresh or expand their knowledge of this exciting field.

Yes and there should be and it should be DD & PK. It is good, unique, and does fill a currently unmet need for those working in the xenobiotic arena. DD & PK is just like the perfect mystery novel—the one “you just can’t put down.” However, unlike a mystery novel which requires only one reading to find the answer, the reader of DD & PK will learn more than an answer to a single question. The reader will find many solutions to a wide variety of mysterious problems associated with the time course and actions of xenobiotics." —International Journal of Toxicology, John A. Budny, PhD, President, PharmaCal, Ltd, 2018 "This book has many innovations that make a welcome addition to the bookshelves of a wide range of pharmaceutical scientists. The effective use of figures and tables to summarize and clarify a wide range of issues is to be commended, as are the learning objectives at the start of the chapter coupled with the summary at the end providing a succinct way in understanding the objectives of the chapter and together with links to a website provides accessibility for all from the neophyte pharmacokineticist to the consultant physician. A book all in the Pharma industry should be aware of." —Int. J. of Pharmacokinetics, Howard M. Hill, ResolvPharma, 2018 "Overall, Introduction to Drug Disposition and Pharmacokinetics offers its readership an in-depth view of classic pharmacokinetic concepts. This book would be an excellent choice for a pharmacokinetics elective or as an adjunctive text for an introductory course. This book reviews a wide array of clinically relevant topics and encourages the reader to apply the knowledge gained to all medi-cations. A robust and varied amount of online material is provided to enhance understanding and encourage discussion. It is likely that all readers, novice or experienced pharmacists, would find value in this textbook." — Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning, Milena McLaughlin, Midwestern University Chicago College of Pharmacy, 2018 "In summary, this is an excellent textbook for students new to the field of pharmaceutics and medical, pharmacy, and veterinary students, particularly those who envision a career in drug development research in either academia or industry." —Veterinary Pathology Review, John K.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to using modeling and simulation programs in drug discovery and development Biopharmaceutical modeling has become integral to the design and development of new drugs. Influencing key aspects of the development process, including drug substance design, formulation design, and toxicological exposure assessment, biopharmaceutical modeling is now seen as the linchpin to a drug's future success. And while there are a number of commercially available software programs for drug modeling, there has not been a single resource guiding pharmaceutical professionals to the actual tools and practices needed to design and test safe drugs. A guide to the basics of modeling and simulation programs, Biopharmaceutics Modeling and Simulations offers pharmaceutical scientists the keys to understanding how they work and are applied in creating drugs with desired medicinal properties. Beginning with a focus on the oral absorption of drugs, the book discusses: The central dogma of oral drug absorption (the interplay of dissolution, solubility, and permeability of a drug), which forms the basis of the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) The concept of drug concentration How to simulate key drug absorption processes The physiological and drug property data used for biopharmaceutical modeling Reliable practices for reporting results With over 200 figures and illustrations and a peerless examination of all the key aspects of drug research—including running and interpreting models, validation, and compound and formulation selection—this reference seamlessly brings together the proven practical approaches essential to developing the safe and effective medicines of tomorrow.

Download or read book Rational Therapeutics for Infants and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-04-07 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Roundtable on Research and Development of Drugs, Biologics, and Medical Devices evolved from the Forum on Drug Development, which was established in 1986. Sponsor representatives and IOM determined the importance of maintaining a neutral setting for discussions regarding long-term and politically sensitive issues justified the need to revise and enhance past efforts. The new Roundtable is intended to be a mechanism by which a broad group of experts from the public* and private sectors can be convened to conduct a dialogue and exchange information related to the development of drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Members have expertise in clinical medicine, pediatrics, clinical pharmacology, health policy, health insurance, industrial management, and product development; and they represent interests that address all facets of public policy issues. From time to time, the Roundtable requests that a workshop be conducted for the purpose of exploring a specific topic in detail and obtaining the views of additional experts. The first workshop for the Roundtable was held on April 14 and 15, 1998, and was entitled Assuring Data Quality and Validity in Clinical Trials for Regulatory Decision Making. The summary on that workshop is available from IOM. This workshop summary covers the second workshop, which was held on May 24 and 25, 1999, and which was aimed at facilitating the development and proper use of drugs, biologics, and medical devices for infants and children. It explores the scientific underpinnings and clinical needs, as well as the regulatory, legal, and ethical issues, raised by this area of research and development.
