ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780854041787
Product Description:
This book provides a chemical background to the domestic and international legal controls on drugs of abuse and related substances and includes coverage of ‘designer drugs’ and generic/analogue controls from the US, UK, and New Zealand perspectives.
General chapters cover the recent history of the drug classification debate and a proposal for consolidating a wide range of legal controls on chemical substances. An account is provided of the Early Warning System on ‘New Psychoactive Substances’ in operation in the European Union. Technical and subsidiary material is placed in 20 Appendices, which list controlled substances and cover topics such as: precursor chemicals, related legislation, sentencing guidelines and detailed chemical/pharmacological profiles of the most commonly-abused drugs. There is a glossary and a bibliography, while extensive footnotes support the text and provide references to selected publications and Internet sources.
The book contains a number of unique features, not found in any other single publication:
For the forensic scientist, the book contains a complete list of all drug substances controlled by International law. It explains the chemical-structural definitions and the significance to the legislation of terms such as salt, base, stereoisomer, ester, ether, derivative, homologue and isotope.
For the more general reader, there is an account of the history of domestic, European and International drugs control, the long debate about drug classification, the role of risk assessment and how the legal control of a wide range of harmful chemical substances might be consolidated.
For the criminal lawyer, the book provides a useful adjunct to standard works on case and statute law.

Dictionary for Clinical Trials
By Simon Day
Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 262
Publication Date: 2007-06-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 047005817X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780470058176
Product Description:
As a result of the expansion in the area of pharmaceutical medicine there is an ever-increasing need for educational resources. The Dictionary of Clinical Trials, Second Edition comprehensively explains the 3000 words and short phrases commonly used when designing, running, analysing and reporting clinical trials.
This book is a quick, pocket reference tool to understand the common and less well-used terms within the discipline of clinical trials, and provides an alternative to the textbooks available. Terms are heavily cross-referenced, which helps the reader to understand how terms fit into the broad picture of clinical trials.
Wide ranging, brief, pragmatic explanations of clinical trial terminology
Scope includes medical, statistical, epidemiological, ethical, regulatory and data management terminology
Thoroughly revised and expanded - increase of 280 terms from First Edition, reference to Cochrane included
From the reviews of the First Edition:
"This invaluable text explains the majority of clinical trial terms, in alphabetical order, that are likely to be found in clinical trial protocols, reports, regulatory guidelines, and published manuscripts… Fully comprehensive - provides definitions of clinical trial terms in one complete volume… Includes extensive use of graphs throughout." LA DOC STI
"…covers a range of subject matter, with emphasis on medical, statistical, epidemiological and ethical terms… a useful adjunct to standard clinical trial texts… a reference source to keep within easy reach." TALANTA
The Dictionary of Clinical Trials, Second Edition is a ‘must-have’ for all pharmaceutical companies who conduct a lot of clinical trials, in all or one therapeutic area. The book is also of interest for public health and health science workers, and for contract research organisations and departments of medicine, where medics are involved with clinical trials.
Summary: Skimpy, minimalist definitions and overpriced
Rating: 1
This is the sort of book that one might expect to receive as a "freebee" from a drug company representative. For $…, it is very overpriced. Considering that for around the same amount of money, one can buy a very thorough medical dictionary, this "book" falls short. Save your money and apply it towards a "real" text.
Summary: I use this every day !
Rating: 5
As a newcomer to the pharmaceutical industry, this book has helped me to understand the jargon that is everyday language for clinical research associates. Explanations are presented simply

Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Cancer Therapeutics
By Yi Lu, Ram I. Mahato
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 602
Publication Date: 2009-07-21
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1441901302
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781441901309
Product Description:
The goal of our efforts in compiling Pharmaceutical Perspectives of Cancer Therapeutic is to produce a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow review of the principles and current approaches in this ever-growing field. With today’s broad research perspective and technology expertise, the knowledge in the field of cancer research and drug development has become a challenge not only for students who are eager to learn, but also for seasoned professionals who are willing to update. The complexity of cancer demands a comprehensive and integrated understanding from both cancer biology and pharmaceuticaldosage forms and drug delivery in order to warrant a successful therapeutic regimen. However, no book to date combinestogether these two aspects, namely the cancer research and the drug design and delivery from an integrated perspective of cancer treatment. Hence, a book that merges the knowledge from these two aspects is greatly desired.
For the purpose of bridging basic research and clinical application, pharmaceutical drug development processes and regulatory issues, drug design and delivery, laboratory and translational experimentation, marketing and postmarketing surveillance,we have invited international experts with a multi-disciplinary background, including scientists and clinicians from both academia and industries in theirrespective fields to contribute to this book. We intend to convey both an introductory understanding and the latest development in the field so that this book can be useful for both novice students and practicing scientists. With a comprehensive and integrated view of cancer therapeutics, we hope that this book will stimulate a deeper understanding and promote interaction in this integrated field for people with diverse expertise and backgrounds who are working on cancer therapeutics.
We have organized this book to cover a wide variety of topics including strategies to suppress tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, overcome multi-drug resistance in cancer, target telomerase and apoptosis pathways;therapeutic approaches to employ monoclonal antibody and cancer vaccines;introduction of new concepts such as cancer stem cells and new technologies such as nanobiotechnology, RNA interference, microRNA, and cancer cell gene profiling. The use of synthetic carriers, such as lipids, polymers and peptides for delivery and targeting of small molecules, proteins and nucleic acids to cancer cells or specific organs in vivo, as well as targeted delivery of macromolecular drugs to cancer cells, are described in detail. In addition, the utilization of imaging in cancer therapeutics, development and utilization of HIF-1 knockout animal models in cancer study, as well as the principles of developing anticancer drugs and designing clinical trials, are also discussed. In summary, this book provides an in-depth review of various aspects of anticancer strategies and drug delivery approaches from different perspectives, including detailed discussion of several clinical trial cases. The book has a wider and more involved focus on cancer therapy with a good balance on diversity. It integrates cancer therapy approaches (both biological- and small compound molecule-based therapy) with drug delivery. By reading this book, not only bench scientists can have an insight for what physicians desire for their clinical use towards cancer treatment, but also physicians will better understand how the approach and drug are developed and therefore will apply the drug more efficiently and accurately in patients. Moreover, this book summarizes current progress and state-of-the-art of cancer therapeutics, while focusing on the novel ideas that are being explored to overcome the existing challenges. We hope that this book will be served as both a refresher and ready-reference, as well as an educational tool, to both new entrants and seasoned researchers.

Chemistry, Pharmacy And Revolution in France, 1777–1809 (Science, Technology and Culture, 1700–1945)

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780754650447
Product Description:
This book explores the history of pharmacy in France and its relationship to the discipline of chemistry as it emerged at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It argues that an appreciation of the history of pharmacy is essential to a full understanding of the constitution of modern science, in particular the discipline of chemistry. As such, it provides a novel interpretation of the chemical revolution (c. 1770 - 1789) that will, no doubt, generate much debate on the place of the chemical arts in this story, a question that has hitherto lacked sufficient scholarly reflection. Furthermore, the book situates this analysis within the broader context of the French Revolution, from duansci.com arguing that an intimate and direct link can be drawn between the political upheavals and our vision of the chemical revolution. The story of the chemical revolution has usually been told by focusing on the small group of French chemists who championed Lavoisier’s oxygen theory, or else his opponents. Such a perspective emphasises competing theories and interpretations of critical experiments, but neglects the challenging issue of who could be understood as practising chemistry in the eighteenth century. In contrast, this study traces the tradition of pharmacy as a professional pursuit that relied on chemical techniques to prepare medicines, and shows how one of the central elements of the chemical revolution was the more or less conscious disassociation of the new chemistry from this ancient chemical art.

Metallothioneins in Biochemistry and Pathology
By Paolo Zatta
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Number Of Pages: 336
Publication Date: 2008-10-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9812778934
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789812778932
Product Description:
Metallothioneins (MTs) represent a large family of proteins characterized by high heavy metal content (mainly CuII and ZnII) and by an unusual cysteine abundance. They have a powerful protective function in all animal tissues, due most likely to their properties as free radical scavengers protecting against oxidative damage. Moreover, the presence and overexpression of MTs in various pathological conditions, such as metal dyshomeostasis, cell proliferation, neurological disorders, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy resistance, could be used as an important prognostic marker, as a histopathological diagnostic tool, and to follow specific pharmacological treatments.
This important book explores the role of MTs in the field of neurological disorders (brain inflammation, Alzheimer’s and prion diseases, autism, ALS, etc.), cardiology (cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis), and oncology (melanoma, prostate and breast cancer), through authoritative contributions and a description of basic biochemical information and paradigmatic pathological events.
Contents: Metallothionein in Neurological Disorders; Metallothionein in Oncology; Metallothionein in Cardiopathy; Metallothionein in Hepatology.

Publication Date: 2006-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0566086867
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780566086861
Product Description:
The challenges facing large pharmaceutical companies are stark: sales are slowing and research and development costs are rising. There’s an overwhelming need to reduce development costs by as much as 30-40 per cent, whilst at the same time significantly shortening development cycle times. Pharmaceutical spend on outsourcing faces double-digit growth for the next three to five years and yet, if outsourcing is to meet these challenges, new models of collaborative and cooperative working are needed now. "Outsourcing Clinical Development" offers a guide to these new models and to future clinical outsourcing strategy. There is advice at a strategic level on the basis for an outsourcing strategy and how to work with CROs (clinical research outsourcers); geographical issues, such as low-cost environments. There’s also a detailed guide to selecting candidates, and managing the proposal, negotiation and contract process successfully; as well as reviewing the performance of your outsourcing and developing a strategic relationship in the longer term. The pharmaceutical outsourcing function is as complex and as influential a process as the clinical trials themselves. "Outsourcing Clinical Development", with a powerful mix of perceptive insight from leading lights in the industry, advice on long-term strategic direction and tools for immediate help is a must-have read for pharmaceutical companies and the CROs that support them.

Forecasting for the Pharmaceutical Industry: Models for New Product And In-market Forecasting And How to Use Them
By Arthur G., Ph.D. Cook
Publisher: Gower Publishing Company
Number Of Pages: 141
Publication Date: 2006-11-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0566086751
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780566086755
Product Description:
In virtually every decision, a pharmaceutical executive considers some type of forecast. This process of predicting the future is crucial to many aspects of the company - from next month’s production schedule, to market estimates for drugs in the next decade. The pharmaceutical forecaster needs to strike a delicate balance between over-engineering the forecast - including rafts of data and complex ‘black box’ equations that few stakeholders understand and even fewer buy into - and an overly simplistic approach that relies too heavily on anecdotal information and opinion. Art Cook’s highly pragmatic guide explains the basis of a successful balanced forecast for products in development as well as currently marketed products. The author explores the pharmaceutical forecasting process; the varied tools and methods for new product and in-market forecasting; how they can be used to communicate market dynamics to the various stakeholders; and the strengths and weaknesses of different forecast approaches. The text is liberally illustrated with tables, diagrams and examples. The final extended case study provides the reader with an opportunity to test out their knowledge. "Forecasting for the Pharmaceutical Industry" is a definitive guide for forecasters as well as the multitude of decision makers and executives who rely on forecasts in their decision making.
Summary: Too simple
Rating: 2
If you do not know anything about forecasting techniques this is your book. The author give us a big picture about the main steps in the pharmaceutical industry forecasting. How ever if you already took an econometrics course or a business forecasting course this book it is not going to help you.
Summary: Nicely covers the broad areas of forecasting
Rating: 3
Nicely covers the broad areas of forecasting, and thats just what it does. It does not get in to the details. So if you are someone who wants to brush your knowledge then this is for you, but if you are looking to learn new methods then maybe you may want to look at some other options.
