ISBN NO:-978-93-6175-681-8

The fascinating world of “Advanced Pharmacology I” is the subject to explore. This book takes
us on an exciting journey through the rapidly evolving science of pharmacology, where novel
concepts and groundbreaking findings are transforming our understanding of and reliance on
medicine.
The subject is designed to strengthen the basic knowledge in the field of pharmacology and to
impart recent advances in the drugs used for the treatment of various diseases. In addition, this
subject helps the students to understand the concepts of Pharmacological and mechanisms
involved. This book’s rigorous planning ensures a thorough comprehension of the subject
matter by covering a broad variety of subjects that line up with the drug actions.
We go into the fundamentals of controlled medication delivery systems in Unit I. We discuss
general pharmacology, in which we discuss drug development, drug distribution, drug safety,
and effectiveness. Further, the new drug development and its stages have been considered. In
the next chapter of Unit 1, the concepts of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are
presented. In pharmacokinetics, we investigate the drug’s absorption, distribution,
biotransformation, and elimination. Concepts of linear and non-linear compartment models and
in pharmacodynamics, the mechanism of drug action, receptors, structural and functional
families of receptors, and quantitation of drug-receptor interaction have been briefly discussed
briefly.
