Add to basketNeuware - With the rapidly escalating costs of drug discovery and development together with spiralling delivery, quantitative approaches hold the promise of shifting the balance of success, to enable drug discovery to maintain its economic viability. Drug Design Strategies: Quantitative Approaches will provide a useful summary of the current state-of-the-art in quantitative approaches to drug design, and future opportunities. It will provide an inspiration to drug design practitioners to apply careful design, to make best use of the quantitative methods that are currently available, while continuing to improve them. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of quantitative approaches to drug design and describes the development of key concepts such as 'drug-like properties', quantitative structure-activity relationships and molecular modelling, and in particular, structure-based design approaches to guide lead optimisation. How you manage and describe chemical structures, underpins all quantitative approaches to drug design and these are described in Chapters 6-8. The value of a quantitative approach, and also the challenge, is to describe the confidence in any prediction, and methods to assess predictive model quality are described in chapter 9. The later chapters describe the application of quantitative approaches to describing and optimising potency, selectivity, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties and toxicology, and the design of chemical libraries to feed the screening approaches to lead generation that underpin modern drug discovery. Finally the impact of bioinformatics, current status of predicting ligand affinity direct from the protein structure, and the application of quantitative approaches to predicting environmental risk are also discussed. The book will be essential reading for medicinal and computational chemists, and all those involved in drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industries.

Shows how different parts of the drug discovery process have developed, with particular emphasis on quantitative aspects and possible future progress.
David J Livingstone is now an independent consultant having previously spent 18 years carrying out research in the pharmaceutical industry. Following a PhD in drug design at the University of Dundee, he joined Wellcome in their department of Biophysics & Biochemistry on a search for compounds that would promote the release of oxygen from haemoglobin, and later he joined the computational chemistry group in physical chemistry. He then moved to SmithKline Beecham to run a small computational chemistry group and left to work for himself as a consultant and also became a visiting professor at the Centre for Molecular Design at the University of Portsmouth. While working in the pharmaceutical industry he has had a number of academic collaborations and successfully supervised 3 MSc students and 5 PhD students. He has published 80 peer reviewed papers, 11 book chapters, 1 book and also edited 3 books. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the editorial board of 3 journals. Andy Davis is a senior principal scientist in chemistry with the Respiratory and Inflammation Innovative Medicines division of AstraZeneca in Sweden. He read chemistry at Imperial College of Science and Technology and gained a PhD in Physical Organic Chemistry with Professor MI Page at the University of Huddersfield. He joined Fisons PLC Pharmaceuticals Division, which became part of the Swedish pharmaceutical company Astra AB who then merged with Zeneca PLC, to form AstraZeneca PLC. He has spent the last 23 years in drug discovery, in line management, project and portfolio management and senior science roles.

I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes...
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
