Volume 23 includes six contributions as well as the Index for volumes 16-23. The key-word Index, like those of volumes II and IS, provides the reader with a simple cross-reference to all fields of possible interest, making this series of monographs even more useful as an encyclopaedic reference work. The scientific articles treat various topical areas of drug research, reviewing developments and indicating unsolved problems. The editor hopes to have provided the reader with a useful orientation and reference work. Experience over the last few years has shown that a more rapid publica- tion of...

Volume 24 includes six contributions, the author and paper index of volumes 1-24 and the key-word index. Since volume 23 included an index for volumes 16-23 the reader has the possibility to use these monographs as an encyclopedia and is in the position to find references to almost all fields of drug research. The editor hopes that the articles of the present volume will prove interesting and useful to many scientists and would be grateful to receive suggestions and opinions from readers, as in the past case over the 20 years in which this series of monographs has existed. In this respect,...

Volume 26 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains 10 articles, a subject index for this volume, an alphabetic subject index for volumes 1-26, and an author and subject index for all the volumes which have so far been published. The contributions of volume 26 cover a wide field of drug research and therapy, and some are directed towards tropical deseases. As in previous volumes, the authors have also tried not only to summa- rise the current status of particular fields of drug research, but also to provide leads for future research activity. The articles in this volume will be of special value...

Volume 27 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains 5 articles, a subject index for this volume, an alphabetic subject 4ldex for volumes 1-27, and an author and subject index for altthe volumes which have so far been published. The contributions of volume 27 are particularly concerned with fungal disease, with benzimidazole anthelmintics and with the chemistry and pharmacology of quinuclidines, azoles, and nitroimida- zoles. The authors have tried, not only to summarize the current status of particular fields of drug research, but also to provide leads for future research activity. The articles...

Volume 28 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains 8 articles, a subject index for this volume, an alphabetic subject index for volumes 1-28, and an author and subject index for all the volumes which have so far been published. The contributions of volume 28 are particularly con- cerned with biogenic amines, with immunology and the pharmacology of the immune system, with antiviral agents, with amino-quinoline an- timalarials, with the axoplasmic transport, with drug treatment of asthma and with the role of adipose tissue in the distribution and stor- age of drugs. The authors have tried, and I...

Today's drug research is an extremely complex process which, apart from chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and preclinical trials, in- cludes a variety of sciences such as biotechnology, biochemistry, im- munology, physics, biology and even computer sciences. The Table of Contents of the present volume demonstrates this situation and makes it evident that the individual researcher cannot possibly hope to keep abreast of all aspects of modern drug research. In this re- spect, the series of monographs "Progress in Drug Research" pro- vides valuable help and assistance. Those who simply wish to...

Volume 36 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains 5 articles and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connec- tion with the previous volumes. While all articles deal with some of the topical aspects of drug research, the contribution by Robert R. Ruffolo et al. on "Drug receptors and control of the cardiovas- cular system: Recent advances" is indeed in its own right a mono- graphic presentation of this important domain. The remaining four reviews provide an overview of the work in- volved in the search for new and better medicines, with a focus on chemical,...

Volume 40 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains six reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connec- tion with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with phosphodiesterase inhibitors and their therapeutic potential in asthma; peptide receptor ligand drugs; aldose reductase inhibitors; the design and discovery of new drugs by stepping-down and stepping-up approaches; new synthetic ligands for L-type voltage- gated calcium channels and with luteolytic agents in fertility regula- tion. III the 33 years that "Progress in Drug Research" has...

Volume 41 of "Progress in Orug Research" contains eight reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the con- nection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with teratogenesis; nephrotoxicity; bacterial resistance to P. lactam antibiotics; eradication of diseases by vaccination; chirality and drug design; endogenous digitalis-like factors; erythropoietin; and sero- tonin (5HT)-antagonists. 3 All these articles give an excellent overview of the respective fields of research. In the 33 years that POR has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valu-...

Volume 42 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains seven reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the con- nection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with organization and management of drug research; luteinizing hor- mone regulators; natural products as anticancer agents; flavonoids and their pharmacological activity; serenics in the control of mental disturbances; Transfer Factor and its application and with Transfer Factor in malignancy. In the 34 years that "Progress in Drug Research" has existed, the Edi- tor has enjoyed the valuable...
