Progress in Medicinal Chemistry (ISSN Book 46) 1st Edition

Progress in Medicinal Chemistry (ISSN Book 46) 1st Edition

Appropriate selection of biochemical targets is one of the most important drivers of cost effectiveness in the discovery of new medicines. Despite the many advances in genetics, genomics and systems biology, ‘validation’ of a target is not achieved until therapeutic efficacy is demonstrated by a drug candidate. Volume 46 of this series reviews the medicinal chemistry aimed at six diverse targets from which important new medicines are emerging: * HIV integrase (discovery of the first-in-class inhibitor drug raltegravir)* 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (new approach to glucocorticoid regulation)* Nicotinic a7 choline receptor (agonists and positive allosteric modulators). * Bradykinin receptor (new approach to pain therapy)* Histone deacetylase (new drugs for cancer)* 5-HT2c receptor modulators (various CNS indications)

*Presents the latest research in the field of drug discovery *Publishes on an annual basis to bring you the most innovative updates in medicinal chemistry *Available as an online resource via ScienceDirect

The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding 5th Edition

The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding 5th Edition

Compounding has always been part of pharmacy practice. Today, the need for compounding is growing, with the prevalence of drug shortages, outsourcing of compounding services by hospitals, and patients’ need for individualized preparations. Compounding pharmacies now have the opportunity to obtain accreditation. The Art, Science, and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding presents in a logical and progressive format all the information that pharmacists and student pharmacists need to understand the purpose and processes of compounding. Author Loyd V. Allen Jr., the preeminent expert, covers basic guidelines, economic and technical factors that compounding pharmacists must consider, and all aspects of good manufacturing practices for compounded medications. In this fifth edition, all chapters have been updated and several significantly revised—particularly “Compounding with Hazardous Drugs”—and three new chapters have been added: “Pharmaceutical Compounding Errors,” “Foams,” and “Compounding with Special Ingredients.” Information on the new law affecting compounding, the Drug Quality and Security Act, is incorporated throughout the book. Chapter 13 now includes information on compounding “films.”

Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C Illustrated Edition

Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C Illustrated Edition

The global epidemic of hepatitis B and C is a serious public health problem. Hepatitis B and C are the major causes of chronic liver disease and liver cancer in the world. In the next 10 years, 150,000 people in the United States will die from liver disease or liver cancer associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Today, between 800,000 and 1.4 million people in the United States have chronic hepatitis B and between 2.7 and 3.9 million have chronic hepatitis C. People most at risk for hepatitis B and C often are the least likely to have access to medical services. Reducing the rates of illness and death associated with these diseases will require greater awareness and knowledge among health care workers, improved identification of at-risk people, and improved access to medical care.

Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable disease. Although federal public health officials recommend that all newborns, children, and at-risk adults receive the vaccine, about 46,000 new acute cases of the HBV infection emerge each year, including 1,000 in infants who acquire the infection during birth from their HBV-positive mothers. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C, which is transmitted by direct exposure to infectious blood.

Hepatitis and Liver Cancer identifies missed opportunities related to the prevention and control of HBV and HCV infections. The book presents ways to reduce the numbers of new HBV and HCV infections and the morbidity and mortality related to chronic viral hepatitis. It identifies priorities for research, policy, and action geared toward federal, state, and local public health officials, stakeholder, and advocacy groups and professional organizations.
