The Dispensatory of the United States of America. Vol. 2. New Drug Developments. Edited by ARTHUROSOL and ROBERTSON PRATT. Medical Dept., J. B. Lippincott Co., East Washington Square, Philadelphia 5, Pa., 1960. 210 pp. 17.5 X 26 cm. Price 99. Volume 2 of U. S. D. 25 is mainly devoted to providing information concerning more than 200 new drugs and their many dosage forms that have been introduced since the publication of U. S. D. volume 1, in 1955. New information about certain drugs already described in volume 1, and general survey articles on antibiotics, antibiotics with antitumor activity, hypoglycemic sulfonylureas and biguanides, psychotherapeutic and psychotomimetic drugs, and saluretic agents are included. Chemical and trade names are given immediately under the generic title of each monograph. The concise thoroughness of U. S. D. is maintained.
Chemobiodynamics and Drug Design. By F. W. SCHUELER.The Blakiston Division, McGrawHill Book Co., Inc., 330 West 42nd St., New York 36, N. Y., 1960. xiv 638 pp. 15 X 23 cm. Price $19.50. The principles of chemical control in biology are applied by the author to the problems of drug design. Part 1, entitled “Chemobiodynamics,” emphasizes the structural and functional relationship of chemistry to biology and its antecedents. Part 2 emphasizes the nature of drug design as an activity preceding drug synthesis. The relationship between chemical constitution and pharmacological activity is developed throughout the text, and the fundamentals of drug action is well presented. References are given in the text and an index is appended.
