Drug Discovery a Casebook And Analysis

Filled with unique insights into current drugs that have made it to the marketplace
In the fifth volume of Successful Drug Discovery, the inventors and primary developers of drugs that made it to the market tell the story of the drug's discovery and development. Case studies of drugs from different therapeutic fields reveal the all-too-often unpredictable path from the first drug candidate molecule to the successfully marketed drug. In addition, this new volume addresses overarching topics for drug discovery, such as drug discovery in academia, and discusses currently important classes of small molecule as well as biological drugs. Comprehensive in scope, the book's nine chapters provide a representative cross-section of the present-day drug development effort.

Molecular Dynamic Simulations for Drug Discovery

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.

Over the past two decades the benefits of label-free biosensor analysis have begun to make an impact in the market, and systems are beginning to be used as mainstream research tools in many drug discovery laboratories.
