Dear Participants, It is a pleasure twelcome you tthe Yniversity of Ankara, Faculty of Pharmacy for the fifth International Symposium on Pharmaceutical Sciences (ISOPS5) Eight years ago, the First Symposium on the Pharmaccutical Sciences in Ankara was realized and the efforts of our Faculty tPromote this Symposium, was based on a belief tscientific research and the exchange ideas within the international pharmaceutical research community. In June 1989, the concept of increasing necessity for pharmaceutical researches tconsider their research in a more international context, became visible for the first time at the European level. With this Fifth Symposium on Pharmaceutical Sciences in Ankara, we alsbelieve that certain milestones will ve passed and undoubtedly, there is an honorable evidence which shows that researches from different countries are enthusiastic and motivated about the impression of participating such a Pharmaceutical Symposium in Ankara, Turkey. This interest will particularly be promising at a time when the drug industry in Turkey are involved with research and development like those found in most countries which in the pharmaceutical industry is fully occupied with research and related problems resulting from ongoing changes in health. I would like tcongratulate the Committees for their fine efforts in organizing the ISOPS5. There are 310 scientists from several countries participating this Symposium. With this book, you will find abstracts of 32 plenary lectures and approximately 150 oral and poster presentations which we believe that the abstracts introduce the fact that these studies contribute tthe concept of a globalization of the pharmaceutical sciences. In addition tgeneral sessions and poster displays, the exibition of scientific and educational equipment from several companies will provide other highlights for the Symposium. As you participate in our Faculty's programs, we hope you will take some time tinvestigate the resources which Ankara city can offer you.
