There is a growing interest in unmet needs for the development of a new discipline in drug discovery and in university education on Polypharmacology. However, there has not been a book with the comprehensive compilation of basic knowledge and advanced methodology on Polypharmacology. This book aims to meet the needs of making Polypharmacology a new sub-discipline of Pharmacology, not only being a hot area of pharmacological research and education but also a new paradigm for drug discovery. It contains the contents covering the entire scope of Polypharmacology including systemic in-depth exposition of basic knowledge, novel concepts, innovative technologies, and translational and clinical applications by showcasing state-of-the-art strategies and step-by-step instructions of cutting-edge methods. The contents of Polypharmacology targets broad readerships including scientists in pharmacology research and drug development, and university teachers and graduates in medical school or schoolof pharmacy. Rich in illustrations and tables to showcase readers for better understanding the concepts and technologies related to Polypharmacology; Provides comprehensive, systemic, holistic, and explicit explanations and discussion of the fundamental knowledge, background information, conceptual evolution, and updated methodology, as well as in-depth mechanisms behind the knowledge and methodology of Polypharmacology; Main emphasis on rationally designed Polypharmacology or "multi-target, single-drug (MTD)" pharmacology, which represents the major future direction of Polypharmacology and Pharmacology; Describes the clinical applications of Polypharmacology to various human diseases in the clinical and preclinical settings; Contains a wide collection of the state-of-the-art Polypharmacology technologies applicable to the designed MTD discovery and the step-by-step descriptions of drug discovery process applying Polypharmacology principles and methodologies.
