Antitumor drugs generally refer to drugs used to treat malignant tumors, and their research and development have become a rapidly developing important field in biomedical science. This book is edited by Zhen Yongsu, Academician and Director of the Anticancer Drug Committee of the Chinese Anticancer Association, and Director of the Tumor Pharmacology Committee of the Chinese Pharmacological Society. Sixty experts from various fields of drug research and development, including six academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and many other renowned domestic experts, have jointly contributed to its writing. The book elaborates on four closely related aspects of new drug research, development, and application, including:
① Research Status and Development Trends: Providing a comprehensive overview and discussion of the current status and development trends in basic and clinical research related to tumor drug treatment and antitumor new drug research;
② Drug Targets and Screening Methods: Offering an in-depth introduction and discussion of the theoretical basis and detection methods of molecular targets for antitumor drugs;
③ Drug Sources and Development Technologies: Explaining the sources and preparation techniques of drug screening samples, while also dedicating a chapter to introducing online resources closely related to drug development;
④ Guiding Principles and Methods for Drug Evaluation: Describing the guiding principles and methods for new drug evaluation, including pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical studies, as well as elaborating on the basic content of pharmacokinetics.
