Designed for pharmacy students Now updated for its Second Edition, Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems provides pharmacy students with a much-needed introduction to the mathematical intricacies of thermodynamics in relation to practical laboratory applications. Designed to meet the needs of the contemporary curriculum in pharmacy schools, the text makes these connections clear, emphasizing specific applications to pharmaceutical systems including dosage forms and newer drug delivery systems. Students and practitioners involved in drug discovery, drug delivery, and drug action will benefit from Connors' and Mecozzi's authoritative treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics as well as their attention to drug molecules and experimental considerations. They will appreciate, as well, the significant revisions to the Second Edition. Expanding the book's scope and usefulness, the new edition: <ul>
<li> Explores in greater depth topics most relevant to the pharmacist such as drug discovery and drug delivery, supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition, and nanotechnologies </li> <li> Moves the popular review of mathematics, formerly an appendix, to the front of the book </li> <li> Adds new textual material and figures in several places, most notably in the chapter treating noncovalent chemical interactions </li> <li> Two new appendices provide ancillary material that expands on certain matters bordering the subject of classical thermodynamics </li> </ul>
Thermodynamics need not be a mystery nor confined to the realm of mathematical theory. Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems, Second Edition demystifies for students the profound thermodynamic applications in the laboratory while also serving as a handy resource for practicing researchers.

Pharmacology

wiley

Provides a sound theoretical basis for understanding chemical kinetics and its uses in studying drug stability. Treats the calculations, approximations, and estimates that are useful to the pharmacist in professional practice, and presents a collection of selected drug-stability data from the pharmaceutical literature. This Handbook makes accessible to the pharmacist much of the information necessary to make pharmaceutical decisions about drug stability. Changes in this edition include thorough revision of the chapter on oxidation, addition of a new chapter on solid-state stability, and a tripling of the number of stability monographs. All monographs figures have been redrawn, most of them from published data, and all sources are cited.

A Practical Guide to Molecular Cloning By Bernard Perbal Presents detailed procedures for all phases of DNA cloning experiments. Starting with laboratory equipment and safety considerations, this practical guide goes on to describe enzymes, vectors, purification and characterization techniques, genetic mapping, modification of DNA fragments with cohesive termini, ligation, preparation of genomic libraries, sequencing of DNA, and more. 1984 554 pp. Pharmaceutical Calculations, 2nd Ed. By Joel L. Zatz Expanded and updated, this examination of pharmaceutical calculations features a programmed format—designed for fast-paced learning—and a progression of topics that builds on previous instruction. The second edition of this popular text includes current unit designations and abbreviations, additional material on the alligation technique and infusion calculations, and many new problems. 1981 388 pp. Drug Level Monitoring, Volume 2 Analytical Techniques, Metabolism, and Pharmacokinetics By Emil T. Lin and Wolfgang Sadée The second volume in a series that describes drug level assays in biological fluid. Reviews of the analysis, metabolism and pharmacokinetics of 16 major classes are included. Details are presented on therapeutic drug concentrations in plasma, pharmacokinetic parameters, and a large number of drug assay procedures applicable to biological specimens. All of these subject areas have been carefully combined to render this book a unique reference source, teaching tool, and guide to drug level monitoring. 1985 250 pp.

Studies of thermodynamics often fail to demonstrate how the mathematical intricacies of the subject relate to practical laboratory applications. Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems makes these connections clear, emphasizing specific applications to pharmaceutical systems in a study created specifically for contemporary curriculums at colleges of pharmacy. 
Students investigating drug discovery, drug delivery, and drug action will benefit from Kenneth Connors’s authoritative treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics as well as his attention to drug molecules and experimental considerations. An extensive appendix that reviews the mathematics needed to master the pharmacy curriculum proves an invaluable reference. Connors divides his one-of-a-kind text into three sections: Basic Thermodynamics, Thermodynamics of Physical Processes, and Thermodynamics of Chemical Processes; chapters include: <ul>
<li> Energy and the First Law of Thermodynamics 
</li> <li> The Entropy Concept 
</li> <li> Phase Transformations 
</li> <li> Solubility 
</li> <li> Acid-Base Equilibria 
</li> <li> Noncovalent Binding Equilibria </li> </ul>
Thermodynamics need not be a mystery nor be confined to the realm of mathematical theory. Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems introduces students of pharmacy to the profound thermodynamic applications in the laboratory while also serving as a handy resource for practicing researchers.

This unique book presents a systematic review of the methods for the determination of binding constants of complex formation in solution. Collects material that has been scattered throughout the literature of several separate fields. Offered here are methods from the areas of acid-base chemistry, metal-ion coordination compounds, hydrogen-bonding, charge-transfer complexation, hydrophobic interaction, and protein-binding. Discusses the relevant thermodynamics, modelling, statistics and regression analysis, and interpretation of data. Includes fresh discussions of random association (contact complexes), selection of standard states, and comparison of results. Treats all of the experimental methods useful for measuring these equilibrium constants, including those based on spectrophotometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, reaction kinetics, potentiometry, solubility, liquid-liquid partitioning, dialysis, chromatography, flourimetry, and many others.

All aspects of reactions in solution are discussed. It gives a complete treatment of linear free-energy relationships and solvent effects. The latest ideas on transition state location and energy barrier height in concerted reactions are described. The book is quite "user-friendly" since the derivations of mathematical equations are detailed. The examples in the book utilize data from the primary literature. There is a heavy use in this book of contemporary instrumental methods. An example would be the book's treatment of NMR. The text is intended for students of biology, chemistry, physics, and pharmaceuticals.
