Drug Discovery Stories: From Bench to Bedside presents a collection of cases on the development of highly successful pharmaceuticals. It delves into the realm of drug discovery, exploring the structural biology and biological functions of the sought-after targets. The book covers the identification of promising compounds, their transformation from hits to leads through meticulous optimization, and the elucidation of how key compounds interact with the target (in essence, providing invaluable insights for drug design). Additionally, it covers essential information such as the pivotal biological and PK data of lead compounds, any noteworthy clinical results, and a comprehensive overview of other candidate compounds.

The field of drug discovery and development has experienced rapid evolution, with numerous new drugs receiving approval each year. While several books have been published on this subject, there is a pressing need for a new book series that accurately reflects the current advancements in drug discovery. This book aims to not only cater to the drug discovery community but also engage other communities involved in chemical biology, synthetic chemistry, and pharmacology.

Zhan, Peng
Peng Zhan obtained his B.S. degree from Shandong University, China, in 2005. He then earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in medicinal chemistry from Shandong University in 2008 and 2010. He subsequently joined Shandong University as a Lecturer (2010-2012). From 2012 to 2014, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow funded by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. He is currently a full professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Shandong University. His research interests involve the discovery of novel anti-viral (HIV, HBV, influenza, coronavirus, etc.), anti-gout, and anti-cancer agents based on rational drug design and combinatorial chemistry approaches. He also co-edited six books published by People's Medical Publishing House and Springer Nature, respectively and granted 50 patents (30 of them licensed). He currently serves as advisory editorial board member of Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
