Full Description
**Selected for 2025 Doody's Core Titles® in Toxicology**
A Comprehensive Guide to Toxicology in Nonclinical Drug Development, Third Edition is a valuable reference providing a complete understanding of all aspects of nonclinical toxicology in pharmaceutical research. This updated edition has been expanded and re-developed covering a wide-range of toxicological issues in small molecules and biologics. Topics include ADME in drug discovery, pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, formulations, and genetic toxicology testing. The book has been thoroughly updated throughout to reflect the latest scientific advances and includes new information on antiviral drugs, anti-diabetic drugs, immunotherapy, and a discussion on post-pandemic drug development challenges and opportunities. This is an essential and practical resource for all toxicologists involved in nonclinical testing in industry, academic, and regulatory settings.
