Drug Design

The first book in the newly created book series, Computer-Aided Drug Discovery and Design, focuses on the computational aspects of early drug discovery, drug target identification, and validation. It revises current classical paradigms in target and phenotypic-based drug design with still ingrained approximations and concepts and discusses the research in the new network approach concept that include kinetic selectivity and metabolic analysis.

The present work offers a snapshot of the state-of-the-art of crystallographic, analytical, and computational methods used in modern drug design and development.

This volume discusses the theoretical and practical aspects required to formulate conventional drug dosage forms and advanced technology-based therapeutics. The book is a collection of scholarly literature relevant to pharmaceutical technology and existing pharmaceutical technologies. It is a useful reference for industrial personnel working on developing novel pharmaceutical dosage forms.
