This table features a selection of some of the best books on drug discovery, as well as related topics such as pharmacology, toxicology, pharmaceutics, and biotech. While nothing can replace hands-on industry experience, a few books serve as valuable references and offer insights into the realities of drug discovery. We recommend this list as a useful technical resource or as an informative introduction to the broader field of drug discovery, beyond any single discipline.
Understanding how a small molecule ligand binds to its target is valuable in drug discovery, because it enables more efficient optimization through structure-based design, better mechanistic understanding of molecular pharmacology, and greater confidence in the therapeutic hypothesis from both safety and efficacy perspectives. Recently, Drug Hunter highlighted methods for target identification when the target is unknown.
The INN Proposed List 131, released on August 11th, 2024, unveils the latest batch of drug names currently under consideration by the WHO. To streamline your review, we’ve distilled and compiled a searchable table for the small molecules that includes company identifiers, the newly proposed drug names, structural information, original patents, companies, and mechanisms of action, including structures that were previously undisclosed.
With increasingly tight timelines between bench and clinic, considering formulation strategies early on can give your program a competitive edge. This succinct formulations guide provides specific clinically-used examples of common formulations, and can help you select a formulation strategy most likely to succeed based on the properties of your compound.
Learning from industry leaders is one of the best ways to grow as a drug discovery professional. This table lists some of the top drug discovery blogs and biopharma social media influencers, all of whom are clearly passionate about their work. These are excellent, free resources that offer valuable insights and perspectives.
