Content:
Biotechnology and Biopharmaceuticals: Transforming Proteins and Genes into Drugs defines biotechnology from the perspective of pharmaceuticals. The first section focuses on the process of transforming a biologic macromolecule into a therapeutic agent, while the second section provides a brief overview of each class of macromolecule with respect to physiological role and clinical application. Additional detail is also provided in the second section for each FDA approved, recombinantly derived biopharmaceutical for each category of macromolecule. The final section looks to the future and the new.
Note:
Introduction to biopharmaceuticals -- Comparative drug development of proteins and genes versus small molecules -- Biotechnology industry perspective on drug development -- Biopharmaceutical technologies and processes in drug development -- Pharmacology, toxicology, therapeutic dosage formulations, and clinical response -- Hematopoietic growth factors and coagulation factors -- Interferons and cytokines for anti-infective and cancer therapy -- Hormones -- Enzymes -- Antibodies and derivatives -- Vaccines -- Other products : monographs -- Advanced drug delivery -- Individualization of drug regimens : integration of pharamacokinetic and pharmacogenic principles in drug therapy -- Gene and cell therapy -- Integration of discovery and development : the role of genomics and proteomics.
