The first edition1 of this book was published approximately 13 years ago. Its primary objective was to present an overview and a "roadmap" of the process of new drug discovery and development, particularly oriented to individuals or companies entering the pharmaceutical field. It was written by one of the authors (Smith), with no contributors, and drawn on Smith s experiences in the industry and field over the course of nearly 40 years. In the second edition, the scope of the first book has been expanded and technical details in the form of hard data have been included. In addition to the editors own commentary and contributions, the major part of the book is the result of contributions of experts in the industry. New chapters on risk assessment, international harmonization of drug development and regulation, dietary supplements, patent law, and entrepreneurial startup of a new pharmaceutical company have been added. Some of the important, basic operational aspects of drug discovery and development (e.g., organizational matters, staff requirements, pilot plant operations, etc.) are not repeated in this book but can be found in the first edition.
