"Although somewhat labor intensive, Drug Discrimination (DD) is of enormous applicability to the understanding of drug action. Drug discrimination : applications to medicinal chemistry and drug studies covers the practical applications of drug discrimination studies for medicinal chemistry, including strengths and limitations versus other pharmacological methods for evaluating drug action. The book provides medicinal chemists with a fuller understanding of the nature and use of drug discrimination studies for evaluating the action of drugs while helping pharmacologists understand and better interact with medicinal chemists and drug designers when sharing pharmacologic data."

"ABSTRACTXylitol is a five-carbon polyol sugar. It has many healthy benefits and is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare. Natural sources with abundant carbon such as lignocellulose can be used for xylitol production. One of the potencial sources with high prevalency in Indonesia is water hyacinth. It is known as weeds and has not been fully utilized by people. The aim of this research was the utilization of water hyacinth which contains hemicellulose as a substrate in the bioconversion of xylose into xylitol by yeast cells Debaryomyces hansenii. Stages of processing include the optimization of water hyacinth hydrolysis using autohydrolysis method and optimization of fermentation conditions. Xylose and xylitol were determined by HPLC with RI detector and LiChrosorb® NH2 (4 mm x 125,00 mm, 5μm) column. Acetonitrile-water (90:10, v/v) was used as a solvent. 20 μL sample volume was injected at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and room temperature. The results showed that optimum conditions for the acquisition of xylose were obtained through autohydrolysis methods for 75 minutes with 1:15 water hyacinth and water ratio and posthydrolysis for 45 min using 4% sulfuric acid. Xylose concentration in hydrolyzate obtained was 25.55 g/L. The optimum fermentation condition for xylitol production was achieved by four day cultivation, limited aeration condition, and addition of metal ions CaCl2.2H2O 0.01%. The yield of xylitol obtained using those conditions was 77.43 %. "
