I am looking for a textbook for a 1 semester course in Pharmacodynamics.
I would like a book that covers both the chemistry/physiology and the
mathematical models of PD processes. I am not looking for a book that
is essentially an applied math book; for example, I think the book
"Pharmacokinetic - Pharmacodynamic Modeling and Simulation" is too much
about math and not enough about the chemistry/physiology or the math
models themselves.
Any good suggestions?

[Unrelated update - I put together a version of PharmPK archives 1995, =
the first two months of archives that I have available (Nov/Dec) in =
iBook format and as a pdf. Comments suggestions welcome. I took out =
topics with no answers, email addresses and phone numbers. Corrected =
some spelling ;-) Comments, corrections, suggestions welcome. - db]
You might try Mathematical Physiology by James Keener and James Sneyd
(Volume 1 =3D Cellular physiology, Volume 2 =3D Systems physiology). =
They
start at mass action and thermodynamics and move through cellular
processes such as diffusion, membrane transport, and enzymatic
processes. Then in the second volume they discuss the circulatory
system, organ function, and other integrated systems. I find it very
useful as I build PK/PD models and try to understand physiologic
processes.
You can find it on Amazon at:

Good luck!
