| Summary |
This book is useful to readers who are just beginning in the field of drug design and development. It starts with an introduction and some basic information about drugs. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects are covered in the initial chapters. Systemic descriptions of pharmacokinetic parameters such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are explained in simple and easy language. This book demonstrates detailed concepts of lead molecules and their sources. In addition, drug target classification, identification and validation strategies, as well as the design and develop |
