Drug-Drug Interactions

This reference presents comprehensive coverage of the preclinical, clinical, toxicological, regulatory, and marketing perspectives of metabolism-based drug-drug interactions-relating pharmacokinetic concepts to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The book provides helpful examples, representative enzyme systems, and computer-aided modeling to clarify key concepts. It offers nearly 200 useful tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, and contributions by world-renowned experts in the field. They discuss kinetics-based in vitro-in vivo correlations, methods for the development of a metabolic drug interaction (MDI) database, and more.
