How Synthetic Drugs Work: Insights into Molecular Pharmacology of Classic and New Pharmaceuticals

How Synthetic Drugs Work: Insights into Molecular Pharmacology of Classic and New Pharmaceuticals provides comprehensive, structured access to robust information on molecular pharmacology for clinicians, research scientists and advanced health care students. The book covers the foundations of molecular pharmacology and the main drug classes, including detailed information on their mechanisms of action and the application of molecular pharmacology in drug development. This book is an ideal reference for graduate students and researchers in pharmacology, however, researchers in corporate settings will also benefit from the book's structured and detailed coverage of mechanisms of action of synthetic drugs. Presents the mechanism of action of most recent synthetic drugs available Includes newly reported action mechanisms of conventional drugs Contains colored illustrations of the pathway through which the drug exerts therapeutic action INDICE: 1.
