Pharmacological and Toxicological Screening Methods-I

ISBN NO:-978-93-6175-235-3

The sciences of pharmacology and toxicology are strongly intertwined. The former
focuses on how medications function in live beings, while the latter focuses on the bad
effects of drugs and chemicals and how to treat them. Both fields are concerned with the
behaviour of drugs and chemicals in living organisms. This book provides a detailed
illustration of the most important concepts that are involved in pharmacology and the
medical sciences that are related to it. The title opens with a discussion of the historical
elements of drug creation, including up-to-date information about Nobel Laureates in
pharmacology and toxicology and the key discoveries they made. Following this, it
conducts an analysis of the fundamental concepts of pharmacology, including
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as providing comprehensive
information on drug transporters and interactions. The subsequent chapters of the book
are dedicated to covering a comprehensive assortment of subjects that provide vital
knowledge on the fundamental principles of pharmacology and the manner in which
these concepts are used for the clinical treatment of disorders.
