Features: The content of this book is divided into four main parts. The first two chapters introduce an overview of drug design and some basic knowledge. Chapters 3 and 4 respectively introduce two drug design principles at the empirical level—the principle of bioisosterism and the principle of prodrugs. Chapters 5 to 8 elaborate on some principles and methods of computer-aided drug design. The last two chapters introduce the new development trends in drug design research, including combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening, as well as the ADME properties of compounds and their applications in new drug development. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate students of applied chemistry, as well as a reference book for students and researchers in pharmacy, chemistry, and related fields, or for drug researchers in teaching or scientific research.
