Volume 43 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains five reviews and
the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the
connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume
deal with high cholesterol blood levels and other dyslipidemias;
search of ideal antihypertensive drugs; the natural PQlyamines and
the immune system; biologically active quinazolones and with
production and action of interferons. In the 35 years the PDR has
existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valuable help and advice of
many colleagues. Readers, the authors of the reviews, and last but
not least, the reviewers have all contributed greatly to the
success of this series. Although the comments received so far have
generally been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze
and to reassess the current position and the future direction of
such a review series. So far, it has been the Editors intention to
help disseminate information on the vast domain of drug research,
and to provide the reader with a tool with which to keep abreast of
the latest developments and trends. The reviews in PDR are useful
to the non-specialist, who can obtain an overview of a particular
field of drug research in a relatively short time. The specialist
readers of PDR will appreciate the reviews' comprehensive
bibliographies, and, in addition, they may even get fresh impulses
for their own research. Finally, the readers can use the 43 volumes
of PDR as an encyclopedic source of information.
Volume 46 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains seven reviews and
the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the

cardiovascular system, with leukotrienes and development of novel
anti-inflammatory agents, with antithrombotic stra- tegies and
drugs affecting the plasma fibrinogen levels, with natural ami-
noglycosides and polyamines and their effects in the mammalian
orga- nism, with the latest developments in antidepressant agents
and with immunopharmacological and biochemical bases of Chinese
herbal medi- cine. These reviews provide valuable information on
several new deve- lopments in the complex domain of drug research.
