Abstract

This volume highlights natural products, molecular methods for identifying, and current trends in designing non-natural natural products. Chapters guide readers through protocols on heterologous expression techniques, gene disruption, modified pathway regulators, and in-vitro studies. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Engineering Natural Product Biosynthesis: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.

Abstract

This volume begins with a short history of malaria and follows with a summary of its biology. It then traces the fascinating history of the discovery of quinine for malaria treatment, and then describes quinine’s biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use, concluding with a discussion of synthetic antimalarial agents based on quinine’s structure. It also covers the discovery of artemisinin and its development as the source of the most effective current antimalarial drug, including summaries of its synthesis and biosynthesis, its mechanism of action, and its clinical use and resistance. A short discussion of other clinically used antimalarial natural products leads to a detailed treatment of additional natural products with significant antiplasmodial activity, classified by compound type. Although the search for new antimalarial natural products from Nature’s combinatorial library is challenging, it is very likely to yield new antimalarial drugs. This book thus ends by identifying ten natural products with development potential as clinical antimalarial agents.

Abstract

This handbook, directed at medical professionals and students who are involved in developing the space industry or are academicians doing research in this area, covers current pharmaceutical knowledge about the difference in medication efficacy in space versus on Earth and includes trial results and best practices for the space research and travel industry. The well-known contributors come from an interdisciplinary background and address all aspects of the subject, from the physiological impact of spaceflight to the effects of radiation. As the commercial space industry expands its operations in industry and tourism, the field of space pharmaceuticals is growing commensurately. Existing pharmacological research from space is thoroughly covered in this book, and Earth applications are also described. Potential pharmacological solutions are posed along with the known challenges and examples from existing studies, which are detailed at length. This major reference work is a comprehensive and important medical resource for all space industry players.

Abstract

This volume explores the latest technological advances and covers all facets of systems medicine with respect to precision medicine. The chapters in this book are organized into four parts. Part One highlights the recent achievements in proteomics for biomarkers identification, integration of omics and phenotypic data for precision medicine, and medicine-guided treatment of drug-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Part Two covers systems-based computational approaches for pharmaceutical research and drug development, the principle of optimizing systemic exposure of drugs, and Animal Rule for drug repurposing. Part Three looks at computational tools and methodologies of network biology, quantitative systems toxicology, and modeling and stimulating patient response variabilities. Part Four talks about how systems medicine can address unmet medical and health needs, and identify educational needs. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and thorough, Systems Medicine: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for the scientific community that will help researchers work together toward the further advancement of achieving the goal of promoting global health.

Abstract

This book explains how peptide-based drug design works, what steps are needed to develop a peptide-based therapeutic, and challenges in synthesis as well as regulatory issues. It covers the design concept of peptide therapeutics from fundamental principles using structural biology and computational approaches. The chapters are arranged in a linear fashion. A fresh graduate or a scientist who works on small molecules can use this to follow the design and development of peptide therapeutics to use as understanding the basic concepts. Each chapter is written by experts from academia as well as industry. Rather than covering extensive literature, the book provides concepts of design, synthesis, delivery, as well as regulatory affairs and manufacturing of peptides in a systematic way with examples in each case. The book can be used as a reference for a pharmaceutical or biomedical scientist or graduate student who wants to pursue their career in peptide therapeutics. Some chapters will be written as a combination of basic principles and protocol so that scientists can adopt these methods to their research work. The examples provided can be used to perform peptide formulation considerations for the designed peptides. The book has nine chapters, and each chapter can be read as an independent unit on a particular concept.

Abstract

This comprehensive text provides information on fundamental principles of clinical practice and how these can be implemented to provide excellent treatment to the patients. The triads of health care delivery include Physicians, Pharmacist and Nurses that have distinct roles and responsibilities of patient care. Effective pharmacy practice requires an understanding of the social context within which pharmacy is practiced, recognizing the particular needs and circumstances of the users of pharmaceutical services and of pharmacy's place within health service provision. This book presents a contemporary view of pharmacy practice research covering theories, methodologies, models and techniques that are applicable. The initial chapters describe the basics of pharmacy profession and what is the key role and responsibilities of Pharmacist in health care delivery. The central part of the book illustrates the community, hospital and ethics regarding drug formulation. The last chapters cover the therapeutic aspect of pharmacy and how these can be employed to improve patient’s health care facilities.

Abstract

This book, which is the third volume of Biomedical translational research, focuses on the fundamental role of biomedical research in developing new medicinal products. It emphasizes the importance of understanding biological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the disease to discover and develop new biological agents. The book uniquely explores the genomic computational integrative approach for drug repositioning. Further, it discusses the health benefits of nutraceuticals and their application in human diseases. Further, the book comprehensively reviews different computational approaches that employ GWAS data to guide drug repositioning. Finally, it summarizes the major challenges in drug development and the strategies for the rational design of the next generation more effective but less toxic therapeutic agents.
