Exploring the growth in knowledge of particle properties and the variety of technological advances in particle manufacture, this book helps readers understand particulate science and its use in the industry. The authors cover particulate material, its form and production, sampling from bodies of powder, particle size descriptors and statistics, behavior of particles, instrumental analysis, particle size measurement and synergy of adopted techniques, physical behavior of a powder, and in vitro and in vivo performance criteria. They draw the components of particulate science into a single concise description of their integration in the context of product development.

This practical, user-friendly, and informative text surveys basic principles of toxicology. It is an invaluable guide to evaluating toxicity and related data, approaching toxicity testing and interpretation, and understanding the concepts of hazard prediction and risk assessment and management.

Taking a unique industrial perspective that reinforces theory and develops valuable analytical and interpretation skills, this book examines the techniques, methodology, and theory of bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism from the perspective of scientists with extensive professional experience in drug discovery and development. Professionals with extensive experience in drug discovery and development, as well as specialized knowledge of the individual topics, contributed to each chapter to create a current and well-credentialed text. It covers topics such as high performance liquid chromatography, protein binding, pharmacokinetics, and drug-drug interactions.

Few scientists have access to the multidisciplinary experience needed for successful assay development and high-throughput screening (HTS) in drug discovery. Designed to give researchers a boost, this text integrates the experience of diverse experts who offer fundamental practical guidance across numerous situations. It introduces emerging technology that allows scientists to identify and capture relevant information. It instructs in how to initiate, validate, optimize, and manage a bioassay intended to screen large collections of compounds. It also identifies critical targets of relevance in drug discovery and treats each individually in terms of the parameters needed for successful assay development.
