,Computer Simulations in the
Pharmaceutical Industry
The application of computational modeling and simulation has extended
beyond PK/PD prediction of clinical trial outcomes by defining regulatory
strategy as well as optimization of therapeutic candidates. Further,
regulatory agencies are accepting modeling and simulation for approval in
special populations, drug–drug interactions, and dosing regimen changes.
This volume provides a comprehensive coverage of drug design,
chemoinformatics, molecular modeling, and computer-aided formulation
development. Computer simulations play a crucial role in the
pharmaceutical industry, accelerating drug discovery and development by
predicting drug behavior and optimizing systems, thus reducing the need for
animal testing.
