Pharmacological and Toxicological Screening Methods I

About Book

Pharmacological and toxicological screening is the basic requirement of drug discovery and development. Drug screening includes characterization and optimization of the safety and efficacy of drug as key parts of drug discovery. This book is designed for researchers, practitioners and students in the field of pharmacology, toxicology, and related disciplines. Despite of the vast amount of information available in electronic databases, finding precise and accurate drug screening methodologies can be challenging. This book addresses that issue by providing a clear and comprehensive overview of various in-vivo and in-vitro pharmacological drug testing methods. This book serves as a bridge, offering detailed guidance on the screening techniques used for testing drugs for various disorders. This book, includes a range of pharmacological screening methods for various disorders, aligned with the syllabus set by the Pharmacy Council of India for the Master of Pharmacy program. Each chapter of this book focuses on different aspects of pharmacological and toxicological screening. We provide detailed, step-by-step description of various pre-clinical screening models. Additionally, we offer diagrams of the pathophysiology and screening models of specific diseases to enhance understanding and provide a clearer picture of the conditions being studied. This inclusion aims to provide readers with a more realistic and practical understanding of the models used in pharmacological screening. By visualizing these models, we hope to enhance the clarity and applicability of the information presented. The goal of this book is to simplify the complex topics and offer practical insights for students, researchers, and professionals.
