Pharmaceutical bioassays : methods and applications

This book covers the methods and applications of bioassays in pharmaceutical science to quantify drug activity and evaluate the validity of models. It demonstrates the numerous systems available and that each system interprets the activity of drug molecules in different ways. The authors discuss the various models put forward to link the experimental observations and the events taking place on a cell or molecular level between the drug and experimental object, providing the principal and technological guide for successful research of drug research and clinical therapy.
