Fundamentals of Analytical

The analytical toxicologist may be required to detect, identify, and in many cases measure a wide variety of compounds in samples from almost any part of the body or in related materials such as residues in syringes or in soil. This book gives principles and practical information on the analysis of drugs and poisons in biological specimens, particularly clinical and forensic specimens. 
After providing some background information the book covers aspects of sample collection, transport, storage and disposal, and sample preparation. Analytical techniques - colour tests and spectrophotometry, chromatography and electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and immunoassay – are covered in depth, and a chapter is devoted to the analysis of trace elements and toxic metals. General aspects of method implementation/validation and laboratory operation are detailed, as is the role of the toxicology laboratory in validating and monitoring the performance of point of care testing (POCT) devices. The book concludes with reviews of xenobiotic absorption, distribution and metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and general aspects of the interpretation of analytical toxicology results. <ul>
<li>A clearly written, practical, integrated approach to the basics of analytical toxicology.</li> <li>Focuses on analytical, statistical and pharmacokinetic principles rather than detailed applications.</li> <li>Assumes only a basic knowledge of analytical chemistry.</li> <li>An accompanying website provides additional material and links to related sites.</li> </ul>
Written by an experienced team of authors,Fundamentals of Analytical Toxicology is an invaluable resource for those starting out in a career in analytical toxicology across a wide range of disciplines including clinical and forensic science, food safety, and pharmaceutical development. Praise from the reviews: “This is an ambitious effort to describe in detail the many and varied aspects of the science of toxicological analysis. The 17 chapters cover every foreseeable aspect, from specimen collection through analytical techniques and quality control to pharmacological principles and interpretation of results. The authors bring together a great deal of experience in the field and have succeeded admirably in achieving their goal: "to give principles and practical information on the analysis of drugs, poisons and other relevant analytes in biological specimens...". The book is very readable and quite up-to-date, and contains many illustrative figures, charts and tables. Both the student and the practicing professional would do well to study this material carefully, as there is something here for every conceivable level of interest.” Review from Randall Baselt "This text comes highly recommended for any analytical toxicology trainee." The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists “Overall, this book provides a comprehensive, thorough, clear, up to date and practical treatment of analytical toxicology at a high standard. Understanding of the text is enhanced by the use of many illustrations. Specifications, guidelines, and methods are highlighted in grey background “Boxes”. The many and up to date literature references in each chapter demonstrate the authors’ thorough work and permit easy access to deeper information. Therefore this book can be highly recommended as a valuable source of knowledge in analytical toxicology both as an introduction and for the advanced reader.” GTFCh Bulletin “Toxichem + Krimtech”, May 2008 (translated, original review in German) “Many toxicologists will add this important reference to their libraries because it competently fills a need ...” International Journal of Toxicology

This book provides a unique, balanced approach, examining the specific physical and biological factors affecting the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs, together with mathematical assessment of the concentrations in plasma and body fluids. Understanding the equations requires little more than a basic knowledge of algebra, laws of indices and logarithms, and very simple calculus. <ul>
<li> A vigorous, balanced account of the processes underlying drug disposition and the practical uses of pharmacokinetic derivations. </li> <li> Generously illustrated with examples, tables and figures. </li> <li> Written by two experienced authors with a proven track record in research, teaching and industry. </li> <li> A companion website contains additional equations and examples: www.wiley.com/go/currydrug </li> </ul>
Whilst this book has its roots in the highly acclaimed book of the same name, written by Stephen Curry nearly thirty years ago, it is essentially a new book having been restructured and largely rewritten. This readable and informative book will prove invaluable to professionals and students needing to develop a rational approach to the investigation and application of drugs.

Electrochemical Detection in HPLC: Analysis of Drugs and Poisons is the first monograph devoted to the application of this mode of analysis to the assay of exogenous compounds such as drugs in biological fluids and associated areas. The introductory chapters provide information on basic electrochemistry and HPLC-ED, and on trouble-shooting. The specialized area of thiol analysis is also discussed in detail. Salient practical details of published applications of the technique in analytical toxicology and related areas are provided in a standard format. Alternative techniques are suggested throughout. The emphasis is on the analysis of exogenous compounds, although catecholamines and other endogenous species are discussed in so far as they may be used as drugs. The practical nature of this book will make it useful to professionals working in the field. It will also be of benefit to analysts wishing to use HPLC-ED in the analysis of biological samples for analytes not specifically covered in the volume.

The application of knowledge of drug disposition, and skills in pharmacokinetics, are crucial to the development of new drugs and to a better understanding of how to achieve maximum benefit from existing ones. The book takes the reader from basic concepts to a point where those who wish to will be able to perform pharmacokinetic calculations and be ready to read more advanced texts and research papers. The book will be of benefit to students of medicine, pharmacy, pharmacology, biomedical sciences and veterinary science, including those who have elected to study the topic in more detail, such as via electives and special study modules. It will be of benefit to those involved in drug discovery and development, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemists, as well as budding toxicologists and forensic scientists who require the appropriate knowledge to interpret their findings and as an introductory text for clinical pharmacologists. Early chapters describe the basic principles of the topic while the later ones illustrate the application of those principles to modern approaches to drug development and clinical use. Full colour illustrations facilitate the learning experience and supporting material for course leaders and students can be found on the Companion Web Site "Another book on PK? Yes and there should be and it should be DD &amp; PK. It is good, unique, and does fill a currently unmet need for those working in the xenobiotic arena. DD &amp; PK is just like the perfect mystery novel―the one “you just can’t put down.” However, unlike a mystery novel which requires only one reading to find the answer, the reader of DD &amp; PK will learn more than an answer to a single question. The reader will find many solutions to a wide variety of mysterious problems associated with the time course and actions of xenobiotics." ―International Journal of Toxicology, John A. Budny, PhD, President, PharmaCal, Ltd, 2018 "This book has many innovations that make a welcome addition to the bookshelves of a wide range of pharmaceutical scientists. The effective use of ﬁgures and tables to summarize and clarify a wide range of issues is to be commended, as are the learning objectives at the start of the chapter coupled with the summary at the end providing a succinct way in understanding the objectives of the chapter and together with links to a website provides accessibility for all from the neophyte pharmacokineticist to the consultant physician. A book all in the Pharma industry should be aware of." ―Int. J. of Pharmacokinetics, Howard M. Hill, ResolvPharma, 2018 "Overall, Introduction to Drug Disposition and Pharmacokinetics oﬀers its readership an in-depth view of classic pharmacokinetic concepts. This book would be an excellent choice for a pharmacokinetics elective or as an adjunctive text for an introductory course. This book reviews a wide array of clinically relevant topics and encourages the reader to apply the knowledge gained to all medi-cations. A robust and varied amount of online material is provided to enhance understanding and encourage discussion. It is likely that all readers, novice or experienced pharmacists, would ﬁnd value in this textbook." ― Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning, Milena McLaughlin, Midwestern University Chicago College of Pharmacy, 2018 "In summary, this is an excellent textbook for students new to the field of pharmaceutics and medical, pharmacy, and veterinary students, particularly those who envision a career in drug development research in either academia or industry." ―Veterinary Pathology Review, John K. Amory, University of Washington, 2018
