Antidotes to Toxins and Drugs: From Natural Sources to Drug Discovery in Toxicology

Antidotes to Toxins and Drugs: From Natural Sources to Drug Discovery in Toxicology presents recent advances in the discovery of natural antidotes to toxins, drug intoxications and overdoses in pharmacology, drug discovery and toxicology. The text provides detailed information about toxins and their natural antidotes, along with the identification and screening of antidotes for drug intoxications and overdoses. Written by a global team of experts, it describes the potential uses of natural products in toxicology and their applications in medicine and in the pharmaceutical sciences. This book will be a key resource for drug developers, medicinal chemists and toxicologists, among others.Sections shine a particular focus on mechanisms of action, various principles in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics terms, and possible sources and synthesis techniques for these phytochemicals. Details recent advances in the discovery of natural antidotes from medicinal plants and phytochemicals Includes advances in the discovery of antidotes to drug intoxications and overdoses Describes modern screening assays for toxins and drug intoxications Features information on recent advances in toxicology INDICE: 1.
