Features: Advances in Chemotherapy Pharmacology and Clinical Research includes 44 review articles on the clinical application research of chemotherapy pharmacology. Its content covers the development of new anti-infective drugs in China and internationally, the evolution of bacterial drug resistance, the molecular and genetic mechanisms of drug resistance and drug action, as well as the latest advances in clinical chemotherapy research. Anti-infective chemotherapy drugs include antibiotics, endotoxin inhibitors, antifungal drugs, antitubercular drugs, leprosy drugs, antiviral drugs, antitumor drugs, and antiparasitic drugs, among others. Multiple papers included in this book systematically discuss new approaches and pathways for the development of chemotherapeutic drugs, such as the development of new drugs to block resistance mechanisms, effective pharmacological and chemical structure modifications, the application of molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques in studying bacterial drug resistance mechanisms and antibacterial targets, research on human antibacterial peptide genes, new immunosuppressants, and research findings on new tuberculosis vaccines and genetic vaccines, all reflecting the latest advances and achievements in China and internationally in recent years. This book can serve as a senior reference for clinical physicians, pharmacists, teachers engaged in medical education and research, graduate students, and pharmaceutical engineering technicians.
