Parts A through E: Core Themes and Applications
The remaining chapters are organized into five comprehensive parts detailing the entire discipline: [1]
- Part A (Chapters 2–6): Drug Targets: Structure and Function – Covers the fundamental biochemistry of proteins, enzymes, receptors, signal transduction, and nucleic acids. [1, 2]
- Part B (Chapters 7–11): Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics – Explores specific molecular targets, drug interactions, and body processing, featuring a case study on statins. [1, 2, 3]
- Part C (Chapters 12–15): Drug Discovery, Design, and Development – Details lead compound discovery, optimization, and market delivery, complete with case studies on ACE inhibitors, antimalarials, and oxamniquine. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Part D (Chapters 16–18): Tools of the Trade – Focuses on combinatorial synthesis, computer-aided design, and QSAR, including thymidylate synthase inhibitor design. [1, 2, 3]
- Part E (Chapters 19–28): Topic Areas in Medicinal Chemistry – Examines major therapeutic classes including antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, nervous system, and cardiovascular drugs, alongside biologics and anti-ulcer agents. [1, 2]
