Publisher: NEW YORK Taylor & Francis 2010Edition: 4th.Description: 658, 24.7*16.2 Pages | Binding - Paperback |.ISBN: 978-0-415-288770.Subject(s): PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRYDDC classification: 615.19 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Advances in knowledge and technology have revolutionized the process of drug development, making it possible to design drugs for a given target or disease. Building on the foundation laid by the previous three editions, Smith and Williams\' Introduction to the Principles of Drug Design and Action, Fourth Edition includes the latest information on topics such as gene therapy, computer-aided design, and molecular techniques including proteomics. Using real-world examples that illustrate the principles of drug design, the author explores the discovery of lead compounds and their manipulation in the production of non-toxic, metabolically stable drug candidates that will interact with target receptors in a predicted fashion.

Fully updates and expands the contents
Coverage of agonists and antagonists of neuro-transmitters
Information on the design of stable peptide-like drugs
The human genome and its impact on drug discovery anddevelopment
Advances in therapy and pharmacokinetics
Adopting a from-the-bench-to-the-marketplace approach, the book provides a thorough grounding in rational drug design. It emphasizes principles and elucidates a framework for basic drug design into which current and, more importantly, future drugs will fi
