The computational and medicinal chemistry for drug discovery program prepares students to join a multi-disciplinary field blending advanced study in chemistry, biology, computer science, life sciences, medicine, clinical applications and bioethics. This program uniquely focuses on key areas in both computational and medicinal chemistry including protein structure and property interaction. The first edition of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry was published in 1990 and very well received. Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II is much more than a simple updating of the contents of the first edition. Completely revised and expanded, this new edition has been refocused to reflect the significant developments and changes.

- Text organization is modeled after medicinal chemistry lectures that are presented at meetings of the American Chemical Society and includes an introduction to a disease, coverage of possible points of intervention for a drug, discovery of weakly active drug hits through screening, selection of drug leads, optimization of a clinical drug candidate, and some details of drug synthesis.
- Carefully selected topics include broader chemical concepts that can be applied to many different drugs as opposed to covering specialized ideas with limited scope and application.
- Each chapter includes the following:
- Learning objectives at the opening of each chapter highlight the key ideas.
- End-of-chapter summaries provide a synopsis of the chapter’s material.
- Highlighted keywords are collectively listed and defined in the glossary.
- Sample Calculations throughout each chapter demonstrate the use of equations to analyze quantitative data.
- Each chapter includes Learning objectives, Case Studies, End-of-chapter summaries, Highlighted keywords, Sample Calculations, and Conceptual end-of-chapter problems.
