This is an advanced textbook about drug design that fills the gap between existing texts in medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and biochemistry. For each stage, the author explains key problems, discusses the general path toward solutions, presents key enabling technologies, and finishes with an example that highlights the merits and limitations of the approaches used. Worked-out case studies integrate individual concepts at the end of the book. The text is organized around stages of the drug design pipeline rather than a disease or molecular target. The book fills the need for pharmacy and physiology instruction found in chemistry students seeking jobs i
