The exact role of individual histone acetylations will have to be determined in the context of other modifications and the number of lysine residues effected. However, the general importance of histone acetylation as a regulator for chromatin activity is undisputed. This leads to the intriguing possibility to develop drugs that target histone acetylation for therapeutic purposes. The primary targets for drug development are the histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and the histone deacetylases (HDACs) which introduce and remove histone acetylations [2, 3]. 

SAS has always had and will maintain a central role in the data management, analysis, and reporting of clinical trial data. Because of the strong suite of SAS statistical procedures and the power of Base SAS programming, SAS remains a favorite of statisticians for the analysis of clinical trial data. Several companies have built their clinical trial data management and statistical analysis systems entirely with SAS software. More recently, SAS has offered SAS Drug Development as an industry solution that provides a comprehensive clinical trial analysis and reporting environment compliant with 21 CRF-Part 11. 

This volume gives an overview of the current status and an outlook to future more reliable predictive approaches. It is subdivided in five sections dealing with studies of membrane permeability and oral absorption, drug dissolution and solubility, the role of transporters and metabolism in oral absorption, computational approaches to drug absorption and bioavailability, and finally with certain drug development issues. 

Substance P, an undecapeptide, is abundant both in the periphery and in the central nervous system. It is usually co-localized with one of the classical neurotransmitters, most commonly serotonin. Substance P is thought to have a role in the regulation of pain, asthma, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and, in the CNS, emesis, migraine, schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. The substance-P-preferring receptor neurokinin-1 has been focused on most intensively in drug development, and existing... 

Although pharmacology usually plays a critical role in drug development, the principles of pharmacology are less often followed in the practice of medical therapeutics, which is often performed by using predetermined or empiric prescribing patterns. Clinically there is often a broader set of rela-...
