About this ebook

Drug Discovery Stories, Volume Two showcases the discovery journeys of recent blockbuster drugs approved between 2023 and 2024, along with promising drug candidates. This book delves into structural biology, biological functions of targets, hit compound identification, hit-to-lead optimization, binding modes, key biological and pharmacokinetic data, and clinical results. It also covers other candidate compounds against the same targets and includes additional content based on the authors' choices. The series addresses the rapid evolution in drug discovery and development, appealing to those in chemical biology, synthetic chemistry, and pharmacology.By highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration, the authors plan to release updated editions every few years to ensure the content reflects the latest achievements and breakthroughs in the field. - Analyzes the drug discovery stories of different blockbuster drugs - Covers key aspects related to the drug development of the drugs - Includes the newly approved drugs
