More DescriptionThis second edition of "Textbook of Drug Design" has been thoroughly revised and updated to provide a complete source of information on all facets of drug design for students of chemistry, pharmacy, pharmacology, biochemistry and medicine.; The book follows drug design from the initial structure-activity relationship to the final processes of clinical evaluation and registration. Chapters investigate the design of drugs for particular cellular targets such as ion channels and receptors whilst others examine specific classes of drug such as peptidomimetics, anti-virals and anti-cancer agents. The use of gene technology in pharmaceutical research, computer modelling techniques and combinatorial approaches are also included.
