So widespread is cancer, in its various forms, that most adults have either had family members or had friends who have been afflicted by the disease. Projected figures for cancers indicate, in the aforementioned publication, that 12 million cancer cases were diagnosed in 2008 alone and that the number of cancer victims has doubled since 1978. Coupled to the psychological impact that a diagnosis has on an individual is the cost of treatment that must also be considered. Again, according to the National Cancer Institute (December 2008) these costs are estimated to be US$147 billion by 2020. An article, published in USA Today, claims that new cancer cases in 2008 were projected to be 40,480. And the cost for elderly Medicare patients will be US$21.1 billion for 5 years of treatment for the period 2004–2009. Sadly, one in eight patients with advanced stages of cancer will turn down the offer of recommended care because of costs. While cases may have been misdiagnosed in the twentieth century, the sophisticated techniques available today give a clearer graph of the incidence of the disease. With advanced diagnostics, there has been a concomitant advance in anticancer chemotherapy. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000cancer; \u0000cytotoxic agents; \u0000DNA; \u0000therapeutic agents","PeriodicalId":9514,"journal":{"name":"Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80219108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictions of ADME/PK, interactions, elimination routes, exposures, and toxicity require, therefore, that the role of permeability in different organs is considered, investigated and understood. That includes studies of and knowledge about the relation between Pe and fraction absorbed (fa) (or fraction reabsorbed; fra) in various organs, and the interplay between passive permeability and active permeability, metabolism and solubility/dissolution. Relationships between passive Pe and fa in the human intestine, liver, renal tubuli (fra), and brain have been established, and these are the basis of the Permeability-Based Classification System (PCS). This system demonstrates sigmoidal Pe versus fa and fra relationships of different shapes and shifts, and is divided into four permeability categories (very high/high/intermediate/low). Results show or indicate that the liver and brain have comparably high intrinsic passive uptake capacities, metabolism (rather than uptake, diffusion, and dissociation) is the general rate-limiting step in hepatic metabolic clearance (CLH), and few high permeability compounds have dissolution-limited gastrointestinal fa. Active transport processes contribute to the intestinal and hepatic uptake, and renal, biliary, and intestinal drug excretion, of many drugs with limited passive Pe. Active transport could be clinically relevant for brain uptake of both low and high passive permeability compounds. Related drug–drug interactions and polymorphism appear most pronounced for drugs actively absorbed and excreted by the liver. Combined with intrinsic metabolic CL data, the PCS is useful for predictions of CLH, renal and biliary excretion potential, gut-wall extraction ratio, oral bioavailability and effects of polymorphism, and for assessment of potential drug–drug or drug–metabolite interactions, and drug and metabolite organ/cell trapping. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000absorption; \u0000classification system; \u0000clearance; \u0000excretion; \u0000interaction; \u0000metabolism; \u0000permeability; \u0000pharmacokinetics; \u0000prediction; \u0000toxicity","PeriodicalId":9514,"journal":{"name":"Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84023457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Altogether, these methods can describe the molecular forces that govern the affinity and selectivity of bioactive molecules for their macromolecular targets. By being able to uncover the relationships between structure and energetics when using high-resolution structural information and modern biophysical methods, one can fulfill the challenge of correctly interpreting drug–macromolecular interactions. These interactions are prone to be unveiled and scrutinized when structure-based drug design is applied to a known three-dimensional (3D) structure of a given protein. If fully integrated with structure-based ligand design in an iterative way, computational methods can be of invaluable help to describe the ligand–target (cocomplex) formation. Structure-based virtual screening can be used to rapid cherry-pick the best candidates from a large pool of compounds in a chemical library after docking into the active sites of 3D protein structures. To pursue this, the quantification of favorable and unfavorable interactions requires knowledge of the thermodynamics of the interactions. Docking algorithms and molecular dynamics simulations can be used to predict binding energies for positioning ligands in target binding sites, but they only provide information regarded to the prediction of the change in the Gibbs free energy change, which hampers the thoroughly dissection of all other very important thermodynamic parameters—enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity change. The major goal of this chapter is to show the integration of structure-based drug design with the energetic. Microcalorimetric measurement of the drug–macromolecular interaction is an effective way to enhance the power, the medicinal chemists have on hand, to pursue a knowledge-based approach toward the description of all of the noncovalent bond terms that take place in the cocomplex formation. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000structure-based virtual screening; \u0000isothermal titration calorimetry; \u0000drug–macromolecular interaction energetics, nuclear receptors; \u0000transthyretin amyloidosis inhibitors","PeriodicalId":9514,"journal":{"name":"Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery","volume":"45 1","pages":"685-724"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81049623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
