The two volumes I and II of "Organic Chemistry of Natural Products" have been revised with the objective of providing standard texts, for B.Sc., B.sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. Students offering Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Microbiology, Food Science, Home Science and Public Health Engineering. In the recent past, most of the Indian Universities have opted new syllabi introduced by UGC whereas some universities still follow the old syllabi. In the light of those changes, the author has revised and enlarged this text. Some articles have been omitted whereas new articles have been incorporated. All the chapters have been revised. The Grouping of two volumes still remains to be unconventional but still logical and teachable. Each topic covered in two volumes is more or less self-sufficient in itself. Wherever necessary, modern spectroscopic methods used for characterisation of natural products have been added. These additions will further help the students to probe deep into the subject. It is assumed that the reader has the necessary background of Organic Chemistry. Contents : Chapter 1: Carbohydrates Chapter 2: Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins Chapter 3: Alkaloids Chapter 4: Purines and Pyrimidines Chapter 5: Natural Dyes Chapter 6: Chemistry and Biochemical Action of Vitamins Chapter 7: Lipids Chapter 8: Petroleum and Petrochemicals

Although there are numerous good texts on Biochemistry, yet none of these cover the topics which are specific for the pharmacy students. The present text has been written to meet the requirements of the Bachelor`s course in Pharmacy as per the syllabus prescribed by All India Council for Technical Education. This text provides an authoritative account of every aspect of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry of current interest and demonstrates progress in this subject that has been made in the recent past. Every topic included in this book is Self-Sufficient and has been producely illustrated with well drawn figures. Each topic has been written in a clear explanatory style. This approach combined with an extensive cross referencing system, enables the reader to provide both straight-forward concepts and invaluable background information in the light of modern scientific context. The Chapters have been arranged in a conventional way because it may prove good for students to pass from one to another with good continuity. Book Content of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry 1.

This book is unique in focusing on emerging and re-emerging diseases as it relates to and threatens all the countries of the world. The problem of emerging and re-emerging diseases knows no boundaries. Lethal microbes of all kinds can move among people and animals, from one country to another—without notice. The problem is clearly severe in developing countries where there is overcrowding, limited drug availability and general ignorance among people. With travel encouraging the transport of microbes, the information in this book will have wide-sweeping benefit, not only for India but also for the world at large. Surveillance and prevention of emerging diseases needs attention on a worldwide basis. Improving antibiotic use requires a global effort. One hopes that bringing an organized focus to the problem will help efforts to improve knowledge and encourage research. It should also help in inculcating practices to reduce spread of emerging infections and prevent development of resistant ones across the globe. What is needed is a clear idea of the magnitude of the problem and what efforts can be made to address it. Our book plans to provide a comprehensive account of the causes of a rise in emerging and re-emerging diseases and proceeds to discuss the pathogens responsible for the same. The diseases discussed include emerging and re- emerging diseases as per the World Health Organization list published in 2015 and also those most prevalent in Asian countries. Different surveillance strategies and Government initiatives to win the battle over these pathogens is discussed in the last chapter. To understand the challenges posed by Emerging and re-emerging diseases a broader view of microbiology is necessary, one that builds on the approaches of the past, but addresses the problems of the present and of the future. The curriculum for microbiology keeps on changing to keep pace with evolving microbes. Microbiology is no longer taught as a separate discipline, but is integrated with pathology, immunology and clinical studies. However, a basic text that includes all the above disciplines is necessary. We hope this book gives medical and microbiology students an exciting, readable and informative insight of the threat posed by emerging and re-emerging pathogens and the human initiatives to combat these pathogens. It is important to remember, microbes have no geographic preference—they can cause deadly infectious diseases in countries throughout the world. Contents - 1.

It has been a decade marked by extensive discoveries and developments related to the science of microbiology. In fact, the total amount of information on this subject has doubled and possibly tripled during this relatively short time. Dealing with such an abundance of new information has, at times, been overwhelming. “But this degree of enrichment has only served to reinforce the far reaching importance of the subject matter. Looking behind it was the first Nobel Prize for microbiology for llya llich metchnik off received the Nobel Prize in 1908 with Ehrlich, for demonstrating phagocytosis – the consumption of foreign particles and bacteria by the body’s own antibodies. And Louis Pasteur in18th century developed a method of immunizing against a disease (chicken cholera) using a weakened (attenuated) strain of the pathogen in 1880. The term virus(poison) was coined by Pasteur. Sergei Winogradsky, in 1890, isolated nitrifying bacteria in soil and described the organisms which are responsible for nitrification. The chapters have been written in a style such that each chapter has everything whatever is needed to understand the concept. Certain concepts like D-value, Z-value or the aspects of sterilization methods may be repeating a number of times. But each chapter has all the information needed to understand the concept at the place. Once you have read the entire book in the form of a novel, we expect that the repeating concepts are clearer than earlier books. We have in a this book tried to cover traditional and new developments including the changes in various pharmacopeias but the changes are always taking place and have just tried to give the concept so that the change can be appreciated even from other sources. This book has been developed as part of a course that will prepare you for a career in the health or natural sciences. The information it contains is highly technical and lit provides a foundation for the practical hands on work and critical thinking that are an integral part of many science based professions. You will need to understand concepts such as cellstucture, physiology, disinfection, drug actions. Contents- 1. Scope and Applications of Microbiology to Pharmacy 2.

We are feeling privileged to present this MCQ books series to every aspirant of the Pharmacy fraternity. Harmonization of the syllabus and examination pattern by the Pharmacy Council of India followed by a pandemic situation has made us realize the importance of objective and MCQ style questions. Majority of the Pharmacy aptitude tests like GPAT and NIPER JEE, Pharmacy exit examinations, Government/non-government recruitment examinations and other competitive examinations are being conducted through MCQs based pattern. It has created a huge thrust for MCQ based books that not only cover the latest PCI syllabus with topic/unit-wise MCQ type questions but also provide insights into the relevant matter through relevant description. We hope this thrust will be significantly extinguished by this series of books. Contents - 1. BP501T - Medicinal Chemistry II [Med Chem II] 2. BP502T - Industrial Pharmacy I [Ind Pharm I] 3.

This book will serve as an useful companion to the students of MBA, BBA, BE, B.Sc. Course of all Universities Researches, Teachers, Industrialist, Planner and the Public at large. The environmental issue is the buzzword today, all over the world. News papers invariably print reports about environmental issues like global warming, pollution of life supporting system such as air, water and land, water conservation, wild life protection, energy conservation loss of biodiversity, dams and rehabilitation of displaced persons and many others which affect the human beings and animals. Environment is mainly concerned with the interactions between human activities and the natural world. When we talk of economic growth and development it is bound to utilize the scarce and non-renewable resources kept as hidden treasure by the mother earth. For a sustainable development it is highly imperative to use these natural resources religiously and judiciously and there is need for protection of the environment. Contents : 1.

Increasing Population, associated improvement in quality of life and constantly changing life styles result in over exploitation of Earth`s finite material and non-renewable energy resources. Release of excessive wastes through industrial and domestic activities lead to creation of dangerous pollution levels in the environment and create a stress on the carrying capacity of various regions. It has therefore become essential to strike a balance between the economic growth and Environmental quality through public policy, Management and understanding of various complex and interrelated concepts and issues. A generalized compilation of such management issues along with the basic concepts of environment, ecology, ecosystems and biosphere, natural resource and their management are included in the book. Initial section of the book deal with a generalized compilation of basic concept of environment, ecology, ecosystems, biosphere and natural resources management. This is followed of specific pollutants and their information, specific objectives and components of environmental Management have been further discussion. The concept of sustainable development and information on India's environmental policies and Environmental Management studies of various universities in India and other developing countries will find the interdisciplinary approach, presented in this book, more useful for further research planning and developmental activities in the field of environmental management.
