This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with leaders from the pharmaceutical industry and the academic community, published a white paper describing the emerging discipline of Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP), and recommended the establishment of NIH-supported interdisciplinary research and training programs for QSP. QSP is still in its infancy, but has tremendous potential to change the way we approach biomedical research. QSP is really the integration of two disciplines that have been increasingly useful in biomedical research; “Systems Biology” and “Quantitative Pharmacology”. Systems Biology is the field of biomedical research that seeks to understand the relationships between genes and biologically active molecules to develop qualitative models of these systems; and Quantitative Pharmacology is the field of biomedical research that seeks to use computer aided modeling and simulation to increase our understanding of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of drugs, and to aid in the design of pre-clinical and clinical experiments. The purpose of QSP modeling is to develop quantitative computer models of biological systems and disease processes, and the effects of drug PK and PD on those systems. QSP models allow testing of numerous potential experiments “in-silico” to eliminate those associated with a low probability of success, avoiding the potential costs of evaluating all of those failed experiments in the real world. At the same time, QSP models allow us to develop our understanding of the interaction between drugs and biological systems in a more systematic and rigorous manner. As the need to be more cost-efficient in the use of research funding increases, biomedical researchers will be required to gain the maximum insight from each experiment that is conducted. This need is even more acute in the pharmaceutical industry, where there is tremendous competition to develop innovative therapies in a highly regulated environment, combined with very high research and development (R&D) costs for bringing new drugs to market (~$1.3 billion/drug). Analogous modeling & simulation approaches have been successfully integrated into other disciplines to improve the fundamental understanding of the science and to improve the efficiency of R&D (e.g., physics, engineering, economics, etc.). The biomedical research community has been slow to integrate computer aided modeling & simulation for many reasons: including the perception that biology and pharmacology are “too complex” and “too variable” to be modeled with mathematical equations; a lack of adequate graduate training programs; and the lack of support from government agencies that fund biomedical research. However, there is an active community of researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, the academic community, and government agencies that develop QSP and quantitative systems biology models and apply them both to better characterize and predict drug pharmacology and disease processes; as well as to improve efficiency and productivity in pharmaceutical R&D.

Download or read book Quantitative Systems Pharmacology written by Davide Manca and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative Systems Pharmacology: Models and Model-Based Systems with Applications, Volume 42, provides a quantitative approach to problem-solving that is targeted to engineers. The book gathers the contributions of doctors, pharmacists, biologists, and chemists who give key information on the elements needed to model a complex machine like the human body. It presents information on diagnoses, administration and release of therapeutics, distribution metabolism and excretion of drugs, compartmental pharmacokinetics, physiologically-based pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, identifiability of models, numerical methods for models identification, design of experiments, in vitro and in vivo models, and more. As the pharma community is progressively acknowledging that a quantitative and systematic approach to drug administration, release, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is highly recommended to understand the mechanisms and effects of drugs, this book is a timely resource. Outlines a model-based approach (based on Process Systems Engineering-OSE and Computer Aided Process Engineering-CAPE) in quantitative pharmacology Explains how therapeutics work in the human body and how anatomy and physiology influences drug efficacy Discusses how drugs are driven to specific targets using nanoparticles Offers insight into how in vitro and in vivo experiments help understand the drug mechanism of action and optimize their performance Includes case studies showing the positive outcome of these methods in personalized therapies, therapeutic drug monitoring, clinical trials analysis and drug formulation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While systems biology and pharmacodynamics have evolved in parallel, there are significant interrelationships that can enhance drug discovery and enable optimized therapy for each patient. Systems pharmacology is the relatively new discipline that is the interface between these two methods. This book is the first to cover the expertise from systems biology and pharmacodynamics researchers, describing how systems pharmacology may be developed and refined further to show practical applications in drug development. There is a growing awareness that pharmaceutical companies should reduce the high attrition in the pipeline due to insufficient efficacy or toxicity found in proof-of-concept and/or Phase II studies. Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacodynamics discusses the framework for integrating information obtained from understanding physiological/pathological pathways (normal body function system vs. perturbed system due to disease) and pharmacological targets in order to predict clinical efficacy and adverse events through iterations between mathematical modeling and experimentation.

Download or read book Drug Repurposing and Computational Drug Discovery written by Mithun Rudrapal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug repurposing is defined as identifying new pharmacological indications from old, existing, failed, investigational, already marketed, or FDA-approved drugs and prodrugs, and applying these new uses in the treatment of diseases other than the drug’s original intended therapeutic use. The application of computational techniques in discovery research not only helps in the development of drugs from leads or existing drug molecules but can also be useful for the repurposing of existing drug candidates. This new volume presents exciting recent advances in drug repurposing and computational approaches for the discovery and development of drugs against certain difficult-to-treat and life-threatening diseases. With contributions from a global team of experts (academicians, scientists, and researchers), it explores the sophisticated tools and techniques of drug repurposing and computational drug discovery. It delivers valuable information on computational techniques, tools, and databases being utilized for drug repurposing and for identifying the uses of existing drug candidates on different emerging or deadly diseases. Drug repurposing and computational approaches addressed in the book target the discovery and development of drugs for microbial infections (bacterial, fungal, viral, COVID-19), parasitic diseases and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), malignant diseases (cancer), inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and aging and neurological (CNS) disorders. In addition, the challenges and regulatory issues encountered in drug repurposing and computational drug discovery programs are looked at, offering perspectives for future directions.
