Volume 36 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains 5 articles and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connec­ tion with the previous volumes. While all articles deal with some of the topical aspects of drug research, the contribution by Robert R. Ruffolo et al. on "Drug receptors and control of the cardiovas­ cular system: Recent advances" is indeed in its own right a mono­ graphic presentation of this important domain. The remaining four reviews provide an overview of the work in­ volved in the search for new and better medicines, with a focus on chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, biological, biochemical and molecular modeling studies. In the 31 years this series has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the help and advice of many colleagues. Readers, the authors of the in­ dividual articles, and, last but not least, the reviewers have all con­ tributed greatly to the success of PDR. Although many comments received have been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze and to reconsider the current position and the direction of such a series. So far, it has been the Editor''s aim to help spread informa­ tion on the vast domain of drug research, and to provide the reader with a tool helping him or her to keep abreast of the latest develop­ ments and trends.
Volume 21 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains 5 contributions from various areas of drug research and therapy. As in previous volumes, in the present volume the authors have also tried not only to summarise the current status of particular fields of drug research, but also to provide leads for future research activity. The various contributions in this volume will be of especial value not only to those actively concerned in resolving the diverse problems in drug research, but also to those who wish to keep abreast ofthe latest developments in fluencing modem therapy. In addition, it is believed that volume 21 and the previous 20 volumes of "Progress in Drug Research" so far published represent a useful reference work of an encyclopaedic character. The editor would also like to take this opportunity of expressing his gratitude to Dr. A. Naffor carefully working over the manuscripts and correcting proofs. Thanks are also due to the publishers and the printers, Druckerei Birkhauser, especially to Dr. A. Birkhauser, Th. Birkhiiuser and C. Einsele, for their painstaking work on the printing and lay-out of the volume. August 1977 Dr. E. JUCKER Sandoz AG, Basel Vorwort Der 21. Band der «F ortschritte der Arzneimittelforschung» umfasst 5 Beitriige aus verschiedenen Gebieten der Arzneimittelforschung> und der Therapie.
While all articles deal with some of the topical aspects of drug research, the contribution by Al fred Burger on "Isosterism and bioisosterism in drug design" is of great value to those researchers who are engaged in drug design and wish to include isosteric considerations in establishing a work ing hypothesis.
Those connected with drug research, be they in industry, in universities or in clinics, are aware of these problems, and, as a result of this awareness, are all the more in need of an aid which will assist them in ascertaining the current position and in fixing future goals.
In the first years of the existence of this series of monographs, during the so-called "Golden Age" of drug research, the majority of the pa pers published were mainly concerned with the traditional domains of drug research, namely chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and pre clinical investigations.
