The discipline of medicinal chemistry continues to evolve as it adapts to new opportunities and strives to solve new challenges. These include drug targeting, biomolecular therapeutics, development of chemical biology tools, data collection and analysis, in silico models as predictors for biological properties, identification and validation of new targets, approaches to quantify target engagement, new methods for synthesis of drug candidates such as green chemistry, development of novel scaffolds for drug discovery, and the role of regulatory agencies in drug discovery.
- Reviews the strategies, technologies, principles, and applications of modern medicinal chemistry
- Provides a global and current perspective of today's drug discovery process and discusses the major therapeutic classes and targets
- Includes a unique collection of case studies and personal assays reviewing the discovery and development of key drugs
Graduate and postgraduate drug discovery scientists in research organizations engaged in the discipline, primarily but not exclusively medicinal chemists. Computational chemists, therapeutic area biologists and pharmacologists, ADME scientists as well as process chemists. A medicinal chemist at any point in his/her career who desires an up-to-date source of information on not only the latest trends in the discipline, but also specifics on the newest information in a particular field such as biologics and specific discovery targets such as kinase inhibitors in cancer

Samuel Chackalamannil
Dr. Samuel Chackalamannil obtained his Ph. D. in Chemistry from Yale University in 1984 and subsequently worked in drug discovery research at Schering-Plough Corporation and Merck Research Laboratories, where he was a Distinguished Fellow when he left in 2011. Since then, he has been teaching at Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers University, New Jersey.
Dr. Chackalamannil led the discovery of vorapaxar (Zontivity®), an FDA approved antiplatelet drug for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. His group also discovered a PDE-5 inhibitor clinical candidate dasantafil and an adenosine A2a antagonist clinical candidate for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Chackalamannil is a two-time recipient of the Thomas Alva Edison Award for Emerging Technology Patent and a two-time recipient of the Presidential Award for Discovery at Schering-Plough Research Institute.
Dr. Chackalamannil is a co-inventor of 61 allowed US patents and numerous patent applications worldwide. He has published 82 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, has co-authored a book and has given numerous lectures at international meetings and academic institutions. Dr. Chackalamannil has served as a section editor for Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and he has chaired several sessions at American Chemical Society National Meetings and Gordon Research Conference on Medicinal Chemistry.

David Rotella
Dr. Rotella earned a PhD in medicinal chemistry from The Ohio State University and carried out postdoctoral research in organic chemistry at Penn State University. He joined the faculty at Montclair State University in July 2011 as the Margaret and Herman Sokol Professor of medicinal chemistry after a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. He is an expert in the discovery and optimization of small molecule drug candidates for use in metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer, and central nervous system diseases. His current research is focused on discovering new lead compounds for use in parasitic and central nervous system diseases. He has coedited the seventh edition of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and the third edition of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry. He has authored 50 peer-reviewed articles, is an inventor on 8 issued US patents, and has contributed 10 book chapters.
