Pharma-Ecology by Patrick K. Jjemba Pdf

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products—we can't livewithout them. Can the environment survive with them? Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) areincreasingly being recognized as micropollutants. In this context,pharmaceutical products encompass a diverse range of drugs used totreat various illnesses, and personal care products includeeveryday items such as soaps, fragrances, cleaning agents,disinfectants, and similar products. Written for professionals fromdifferent backgrounds, Pharma-Ecology bridges the knowledgeand language gap and critically examines the issue of PPCPmicropollutants and how to best minimize their impact on theenvironment. Organized systematically, it: Presents a range of pharmaceutical compounds categorized bymode of action and common usage, displaying the volumes (or numberof prescriptions) that are dispersed Discusses the detection of PPCPs in the environment usinginstrumentation and bioassay techniques, including microarrays Covers the occurrences of PPCPs in aquatic systems, sediments,soil, and aerial environments Considers the persistence and degradation of PPCPs in theenvironment, and links pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics with thekinetics of PPCPs in the environment Explores engineering and treatment techniques that couldminimize the impact of PPCPs in the environment Includes numerous tables and figures that illustrateinformation This is an enlightening reference for engineers, toxicologists,ecologists, micro-biologists, and chemists involved in pollutionand environmental analysis; policy-makers; professionals in federaland state regulatory agencies; and pharmaceutical professionals. Itis also an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate studentsin related fields.

Green and Sustainable Pharmacy by Klaus Kümmerer,Maximilian Hempel Pdf

Within recent years pharmaceuticals have come into focus as contaminants of the environment (see for example Kümmerer, K. editor: Pharmaceuticals in the Environment). At the same time the issue of sustainable chemistry gained momentum. Bringing both together would result in sustainable pharmacy. Sustainable pharmacy is a totally new issue and approach. It addresses environmental, economical and social aspects of pharmacy. In the present stage the focus will be on environmental issues along the whole lifecycle of a pharmaceutical entity. That is dealing with resources and energy input but also with waste issues for example during the synthesis and production of an active pharmaceutical ingredient. Furthermore, it would also look on the compounds themselves and will aim to improve the degradability of the compounds after their use in the environment to reduce the environmental risk caused by pharmaceuticals in the environment. Another issue is the people using pharmaceuticals such as pharmacists, medical doctors and patients. How can they contribute to more efficient use of pharmaceuticals with less environmental burden and less risk for drinking water. The book "Sustainable Pharmacy" will address all these issues and will be the first one dealing with this important topic.

Pharmaceutical and Bioactive Natural Products by David H. Attaway,Oskar R. Zaborsky Pdf

Biotechnology may be defined as the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services (Bullet al. , 1982, p. 21) or as any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use (OTC, 1988). In line with these broad definitions we can consider marine biotechnology as the use of marine organisms or their constituents for useful purposes in a controlled fashion. This series will explore a range of scientific advances in support of marine biotechnology. It will provide information on advances in three categories: (1) basic knowledge, (2) ap plied research and development, and (3) commercial and institutional issues. We hope the presentation of the topics will generate interest and interaction among readers in the academic world, government, and industry. This first volume examines chemical and biological properties of some natural products that are useful or potentially useful in research and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. One chapter describes a system for producing such substances on a large scale. Biotechnology incorporates molecular biology in order to go beyond tradi tional biochemical technology such as the production of antibiotic drugs from bacterial cultures in bioreactors. Development of the technology for production of antibiotics in this way resulted from fundamental advances in chemistry, phar macology, microbiology, and biochemical engineering.
