Design discovery drug edition textbook third

The information is presented in an up-to-date review form with an underlying and fundamental focus on the educational aspects. Beginning with an introduction to drug design and discovery, the first eight chapters cover molecular recognition, ligand-based drug design, and biostructure-based drug design. The authors also discuss drug-like properties and decision making in medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, natural products in drug discovery, and in vivo imaging in drug discovery.

The middle six chapters provide an overview of peptide and protein drug design, prodrugs in drug design and development, and enzyme inhibitors. The authors also go through receptors structure, function, and pharmacology , ion channels structure and function , and neurotransmitter transporters structure, function, and drug binding.

The following chapters address important neurotransmitter systems, GABA and glutamic acid receptors and transporter ligands, acetylcholine, histamine, dopamine and serotonin, and opioid and cannabinoid receptors.

The book concludes with an examination of neglected diseases, anticancer agents, tyrosine kinase receptors, and antibiotics. Author : Graham L. Imaging 2 4 e Madsen, P. Author : Joseph G. Drug Receptors. This will just cover the very basics, but this could possibly serve as a springboard for additional study on your own. We will have our first full session on the Tracom behavioral style model, provide students an opportunity to reflect on the own behavioral style and provide initial coaching on how to recognize behavioral types.

Objectives and Rationale — We will review the evolution of the contemporary drug discovery process to provide prospective on the current state of the industry as well as to provide background for future discussions and the first assignment. We will continue working on the recognition behavioral types and, if possible, have one or more visitors with whom you can interact to determine their behavioral styles. We will begin to discuss how to use the behavioral style model to improve work relationships.

Each student will select a specific difficult relationship in their work environment to which the model will be applied. The class will explore how to utilize the model to improve difficult relationships at work and will discuss behavioral versatility and its value in the workplace. Objectives and Rationale — We will discuss the drug discovery process as it exists today going over each of the individual steps in the process.

While there is no one correct or best way to discover a new drug, this discussion will at least provide an overview on how the drug discovery business is generally conducted. We will explore how to improve work relationships by modifying our behavior to best interact with those having differing styles. Students will establish improvement goals for themselves that will be discussed during the next session.

This will also be the first class to explore general management topics to be continued in future classes as needed — leadership, management systems, relations with staff, dissemination of information, team relationships team vs. Following class students should submit to the instructor via e-mail their proposed first assignment disease target and therapeutic target for discussion at the next class session. Objectives and Rationale — This is a parallel lecture to the proceeding session but focusing on clinical drug development instead of pre-clinical drug discovery.

This lecture will conclude our formal discussions on behavioral styles and initiate a series of discussions on basic management topics. There is a long list above which cannot be covered in a single session. We will therefore cascade topics to future class meetings. Also, at this point everyone should be very close to the final selection of a target for his or her drug discovery program for the first written assignment.

Please e-mail your selected disease and drug target to the instructor no later than Monday, October 6. All targets will be discussed and critiqued at the next, 6 th lecture, session. You should use the critiques to revise and optimize your targets as needed and incorporate these changes when preparing the first written assignment.

Objectives and Rationale — The Goodman and Gilman textbook is the traditional bible of pharmacology. However, it is organized using a physiological and medical framework, an excellent approach to training physicians.

Contemporary drug discovery is based on a biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology. I have therefore rearranged the information as someone in drug discovery would like to see it. We will fit student drug discovery targets into this format and discuss them in class. Precedent is the best way to predict the success of a drug discovery campaign.

We will review all student targets relative to existing drug targets. Students may wish to select an alternate target in cases where there is little of no precedence for their original target. For homework students will complete an open book quiz on general pharmacology. Management topics carry over from the prior session. The next nine lectures will be case studies. This is obviously highly heterodox for science pedagogy, which stresses the broad concepts and principles that have emerged from the scientific endeavor rather than the process by which individual discoveries were made.

Based on my belief that there is no best or correct practice for drug discovery, we are left with trying to learn from the successes and failures of our predecessors. Objectives and Rationale — In the twenty first century we would like to do everything in a completely rationale way.

This is not always the best path to a breakthrough medicine, illustrated by ivermectin. We will in parallel discuss the management issues and practices that enabled the discovery of ivermectin and carry over management topics from the prior session. Objectives and Rationale — How do you find a medicine for a disease with an unknown molecular etiology and whose underlying character is unique to humans and as a result cannot be modeled in animals with any really meaningful way?

Yet, counter intuitively we have reasonably effective medicines to treat schizophrenia. Many things in drug discovery cannot be planned in advance, including the discovery of chlorpromazine and later generation related compounds. We will discuss the management issues and practices around the discovery of the neuroleptic antipsychotics and as needed carry over management topics from the prior session. Objectives and Rationale — As scientists we would like to believe that a rational approach will always beat empiricism.

This is not always true, and finding an anti-diabetic agent superior to a series of drugs previously discovered by pure empiricism turned out to be more difficult than expected, as illustrated by sitagliptin. We will in parallel discuss the management issues and practices that supported the discovery of sitagliptin and carry over management topics from the prior session.

Objectives and Rationale — In science we are taught the value of being first. Everyone knows that Stanley Prusiner is the father of prions, but do we know the names of the people who confirmed his Nobel Prize winning discovery? First is not however always best in drug discovery. The first drug in a class often paves the way for the best drug as illustrated by lovastatin and atorvastatin. We will in parallel discuss the management issues and practices around the discovery of these cholesterol lowering drugs and as needed carry over management topics from the prior session.

Objectives and Rationale — The earliest protein therapeutics were replacement therapies e. Current protein therapeutics are disease modifying agents and the discovery of etanercept is a good contemporary example of this approach. We will in parallel discuss the management issues and practices that enabled the discovery of etanercept and carry over management topics from the prior session.

Objectives and Rationale — Captopril is a great early example of rational design in drug discovery. The drug was however almost abandoned because of lack of commercial support. We will discuss the management issues and practices around the discovery of captopril and as needed carry over management topics from the prior session.
