About this ebook

Biochemistry of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes: Trends and Challenges is a complete and well-integrated reference on their mechanisms of action, their role in diseases, agents responsible for their deactivation, and their malfunction. Chapters explain the biochemistry of DMEs, including biochemical activation, functions, computational approaches, different contaminants on the action and function of DMEs, and describe the importance of DMEs in the drug development process. Conditions covered include metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, physiological diseases, xenobiotics and inflammatory responses, and their contribution in the malfunctioning of drug metabolizing enzymes. This book is the perfect resource for pharmacology and biochemistry researchers to understand the principles of DMEs. Researchers in the corporate environment will also benefit from the comprehensive list of diseases associated with malfunction of DMEs. - Includes extensive classification of DMEs, their mechanism of action and computational analysis - Covers the biotransformation of drug by DMEs and the possible impact of environmental contaminants - Discusses the activity of DMEs in different clinical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, inflammation and neurotoxicity - Includes modern and novel bioanalytical techniques to predict the effect of DMEs

About the author

Dr. Akash is currently working as associate professor and chairman at Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad (GCUF), Pakistan. He got his bachelor and master’s degrees in pharmacy from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan and PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Analysis from Zhejiang University, China. Currently, he is focusing on investigating the effect of EDCs on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in metabolic disorders and the treatment strategies of these EDCs-induced metabolic disorders funded by Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. His Research work is the cutting edge and worthy of extension in developing countries like Pakistan, where it can be most beneficial and cost-effective especially for diabetic patients. Based on his significant scientific contributions in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, he has been awarded “Research Productivity Award from Pakistan Council for Science and Technology (PCST), PAS Gold Medal from Pakistan Academy of Sciences and A.R. Shakoori Gold Medal from Zoological Society of Pakistan.

Dr. Kanwal Rehman PhD is working as Associate Professor at Department of Pharmacy in The Women University, Multan, Pakistan. Dr. Kanwal Rehman received her PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China in 2015. She nurtures a keen interest in pathogenesis of metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus, obesity, and new therapeutic modalities for its treatment. Other work includes detection of environmental pollutants and their cytotoxic effects. She has published about 135 articles. She has also published 50 book chapters with international publishers and 4 books with Springer-Nature. Currently, she is focusing on the investigation of role of pharmacogenomics based upon gene polymorphism on various molecular and metabolic pathways that are involved in mitogenic disorders and treatment strategies like natural biogenic compounds against different risk factors of metabolic disorders including pancreatitis, cardiometabolic disorders and hormonal imbalance. Dr. Kanwal Rehman has also been awarded Research productivity award by Pakistan Council for Science and Technology (PCST), Pakistan.
