Preface
It has been an interesting experience as an author and
pharmacologist to see the changes that the discipline has
experienced through the drug discovery process. While
the definition of the human genome has undoubtedly
marked pharmacology forever (and advanced it immeasur-
ably), the more we learn, the more we are humbled by nat-
ure’s complexity. With the genome, knowing the road
map is still a long way from completing the journey and
recent experience seems to reinforce the idea that pharma-
cology must be used to understand integrated systems, not
just the pieces they are made of.
This edition incorporates a new trend in drug discov-
ery; namely the consideration of pharmacokinetics and
ADME properties of drugs (absorption, distribution,
metabolism, excretion) early in the process. As prospec-
tive new drugs are tested in more complex systems (with
concomitantly more complex dependent variable values),
the trend in screening is to test fewer compounds of higher
(“druglike”) quality. Finally, this edition also hopefully
fills a previous void whereby the ideas and concepts
discussed can be applied to actual problems in pharma-
cological drug discovery in the form of questions with
accompanying answers. The expanded version now spans
pharmacology from consideration of the independent vari-
able (drug concentration in the form of pharmacokinetics)
to the dependent variable (system-independent measure-
ment of drug activity). As with previous editions, the
emphasis of this book is still on the chemist–biologist inter-
face with special reference to the use of pharmacology by
non-pharmacologists.

Preface
Preface to the Second Edition
With publication of the human genome has come an ex-
periment in reductionism for drug discovery. With the
evaluation of the number and quality of new drug treatments
from this approach has come a re-evaluation of target-based
versus systems-based strategies. Pharmacology, historically
rooted in systems-based approaches and designed to give
systems-independent measures of drug activity, is suitably
poised to be a major, if not the major, tool in this new
environment of drug discovery.
Compared to the first edition, this book now expands
discussion of tools and ideas revolving around allo-
steric drug action. This is an increasingly therapeutically
relevant subject in pharmacology as new drug screening
utilizes cell function for discovery of new drug entities.
In addition, discussion of system-based approaches, drug
development (pharmacokinetics, therapeutics), sources of
chemicals for new drugs, and elements of translational
medicine have been added. As with the first edition, the
emphasis of this volume is the gaining of understanding
of pharmacology by the nonpharmacologist to the mutual
enrichment of both.

Preface
Preface to the First Edition
If scientific disciplines can be said to go in and out of
vogue, pharmacology is exemplary in this regard. The
flourishing of receptor theory in the 1950s, the growth of
biochemical binding technology in the 1970s, and the
present resurgence of interest in defining cellular pheno-
typic sensitivity to drugs have been interspersed with
troughs such as that brought on by the promise of the
human genome and a belief that this genetic road map
may make classical pharmacology redundant. The fallacy
in this belief has been found in experimental data showing
the importance of phenotype over genotype which under-
scores a common finding with roadmaps; They are not
as good as a guide who knows the way. Pharmacology is
now more relevant to the drug discovery process than ever
as the genome furnishes a wealth of new targets to
unravel. Biological science often advances at a rate
defined by the technology of its tools; that is, scientists
cannot see new things in old systems without new eyes.
A veritable explosion in technology coupled with the great
gift of molecular biology have definitely given pharmacol-
ogists new eyes to see.
This book initially began as a series of lectures at
GlaxoSmithKline Research and Development on receptor
pharmacology aimed at increasing the communication
between pharmacologists and chemists. As these lectures
developed it became evident that the concepts were useful
to biologists not specifically trained in pharmacology. In
return, the exchange between the chemists and biologists
furnished new starting points from which to view the phar-
macological concepts. It is hoped that this book will some-
what fill what could be a gap in present biological
sciences, namely the study of dose-response relationships
and how cells react to molecules.
