This is a reprint of an 1891 manual intended to furnish the druggists of America with a concentrated collection of facts on the composition and manufacture of flavoring extracts, essences, syrups, and colorings. Amongst the formulas and instructions in this large collection are: extracts of vanilla, lemon, orange, chocolate, and coffee; essences of melon, pear, strawberry, peach, banana, and plum; syrups of grape, pineapple, raspberry, orange, walnut cream, coffee, chocolate, ginger, sarsaparilla, and root beer; fruit colorings; and ales, beers and wines, such as ginger beer, root beer,...

The introduction of combinatorial chemistry technology has increased the amount of compounds generated in a year from 50 to 2000. Conventional analytical approaches simply cannot keep up. These circumstances have caused drug discovery to take on the shape of a bottleneck, like traffic through a toll booth. In order to break the bottleneck, a corresponding revolutionary improvement to the conventional methodology must happen.

< P> In order to understand drug metabolism at its most fundamental level, pharmaceutical scientists must be able to analyze drug compound structures and predict possible metabolic pathways in order to avoid the risk of adverse reactions that lead to the withdrawal of a drug from the market. This comprehensive textbook will aid in guiding students through the recognition of the chemical underpinnings of drug metabolism. While there are numerous resources available for understanding drug structure, and other texts relating to drug metabolism from a biological standpoint, there is no...

Building upon the foundation of basics discussed in the previous edition, the Second Edition provides a more in-depth look at the latest methods and technologies of advanced drug screening, an essential function of drug discovery.

With extensively updated content and 21 new chapters, this text examines:

• quality and efficiency of drug target validation and potential drug compound selection
• reducing assay costs and improvement in assay technology
• data quality improvement
• trends in drug discovery
• how...

A comprehensive treatment of the design, formulation, manufacture, and evaluation of the tablet dosage form, this three-volume set contains more than 700 illustrations and discusses how to design a drug system that maximizes the therapeutic potential of the drug substance and facilitate its access to patients.

The development of suitable assays, the integration of appropriate technology, and the effective management of the essential infrastructure are all critical to the success of any high-throughput screening (HTS) endeavor. However, few scientists have the multidisciplinary experience needed to control all aspects of an HTS drug discovery project. A Practical Guide to Assay Development and High-Throughput Screening in Drug Discovery integrates the experience of diverse experts who offer fundamental and practical guidance across numerous situations.

The book...

A practical guide to the professional and legal requirements for patient counseling. It provides readers with the skills they need to be in compliance. It explores how a patient's attitude and behavior effect compliance, the pharmacist-patient relationship, and liability implications. It focuses on the communication skills required to counsel.

< P> PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION The need for a thorough understanding of medical terminology has not diminished in the least for pharmacists and other health care practitioners in the five years between the publication of the first edition of this book and this second edition. If anything, it has become greater. The pharmacy profession has further solidified its clinical role in patient care, and pharmacists are more entrenched than ever before in the role of counselor and advisor to both patients and practitioners alike. For more than a few pharmacists, what not long ago was an...

This book traces the evolution of the pharmacist from compounder-dispenser to advisor counselor. It explores the impact on pharmacy of broad sociologic, demographic, and economic trends and examines controversial issues such as professional versus business objectives, managed cost care, coginitive services, pharmaceutical care, and the future roles of pharmacists. Drawing on the literature in sociology and social pathology, the book relates some theoretical constructs to the changing roles of the pharmacist. It includes coverage of pharmaceutical education, disease state management, managed...
