fm7Foreword
I am delighted to see this book of experimental Pharmacology written by my student Mr Prafulla Chandra Tiwari. I remember my graduation days when we have very limited option of experimental pharmacology books. I am very happy to see that Prafulla make a huge contribution to fulfill that gap by writing this book. Let me describe first about the Prafulla that how we know each other. I taught Prafulla Pharmacology during his graduation at Faculty of Pharmacy, Babu Banarasi Das National Institute of Technology and Management (BBDNITM), Lucknow and he impressed me a lot with his inquisitive nature and intelligence. Slowly, Prafulla build a wonderful relationship with me by his sincerity, devotion and knowledge in the subject and strong desire to pursue a career in the field of Pharmacology, and I strongly believe this book is the creation of that desire. He is one of the brightest students of mine; I have proud of him and delighted to write few lines about his book.
After reading this book I found this is an outstanding creation and will be helpful to the readers in designing the experiment, execution, analysis of results and making concept and deep understanding in the subjects. This book wonderfully describe about the drug development process, experimental setup for screening of the compound having activity on cardiovascular system, central nervous system, GI system as well as blood and urinary tract system. This book is extremely useful for students learning the experiment of Pharmacology during their graduation and postgraduation as well as work as reference in industry.

fm9Preface
This book is about the scientific methods and thinking that “Pharmacologists” use for new drug discovery. By understanding and applying these methods, students can develop new animal models for drug discovery process. In addition, you will be able to make suggestions to others and even detect flaws in research. Some of these flaws are common in popular thinking. This book has a number of features that are designed to help you accomplish your goals for this course. The first on our list is perhaps the most important.
- Readers are addressed as beginning researchers poised to make discoveries and solve problems, rather than as students whose task is to learn definitions and lists.
- Chapters begin with an Abstract to orient students.
- A separate chapter on “Introduction to Various Stages in the Process of Drug Development” is given. One of the big goals of this book and your course is that student will get much better at analyzing conclusions that are based on data. Because there is so much data out there in life as we all know it, I expect that your improved skills will be quite useful in many endeavors, especially those who engage in after your research methods course.
This book itself is an acknowledgment to the intensity drive and technical competence of many individuals who have contributed to it. I feel proud to list here few of them. I am very much indebted to Dr Rishi Pal and Dr Durga Nand Tripathi, who are my mentors and constant source of inspiration.
Sincerely I express my deep feelings to my friends specially Dharmendra Kumar Singh, Mayank Jain and Shipra Kartik who rendered a helping hand in the hour of need.
I am indebted to my Father Pravesh Chandra Tiwari, mother Pratibha Tiwari, sister Priyanka Tiwari and wife Preeti Tiwari for their moral support and personal sacrifice to see me through this book project.
