This book covers all aspects of the medicinal chemistry of the latest drugs, and the cutting-edge science associated with them. Following the editors' 3 successful drug synthesis books, this provides expert analysis of the pros and cons of different synthetic routes and demystifies the process of modern drug discovery for practitioners and researchers. * Summarizes for each drug: respective disease area, important properties and SAR (structure-activity relationship), and chemical synthesis routes / options * Includes case studies in each chapter * Illustrates how chemistry, biology, pharmacokinetics, and a host of disciplines come together to produce successful medicines * Explains the advantages of process synthesis versus the synthetic route for drug discovery

Our first three installments on drug synthesis, Contemporary Drug Synthesis, The Art of Drug Synthesis, and Modern Drug Synthesis were published in 2004, 2007, and 2010, respectively. They have been warmly received by the chemistry community. The current title, Innovative Drug Synthesis, is our fourth installment of Wiley’s Drug Synthesis Series.
This book has six sections. Section I, “Infectious Diseases” covers five drugs; Section II, “Cancer” reviews five drugs, three of which are kinase inhibitors; Section III covers one drug that targets cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; Section IV on central nervous system diseases concerns four classes of recent drugs; Section V summarizes a new anti-inflammatory drug; and Section VI covers two additional drugs.
In addition to a detailed account of the drug synthesis, each chapter also covers background material on the drug class and/or disease indication, as well as key aspects relevant to the discovery of the drug, including, structure-activity relationships, pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, efficacy and safety.
We are indebted to the contributing authors from both industry and academia. Many of them are veterans and well-known experts in medicinal chemistry. Some of them discovered the drugs that they reviewed. As a consequence, their work tremendously elevated the quality of this book. One of us (JJL) would like to thank his students, Elizabeth N.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. An estimated 400 million people worldwide have chronic HBV infection and more than half a million people die every year because of complications from HBV-related chronic liver disease such as liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the United States, 12 million people have been infected at some time in their lives with HBV. Of those individuals, more than 1 million people have subsequently developed chronic hepatitis B infection. These chronically infected persons are at highest risk of death from liver scarring (cirrhosis) and liver cancer. In fact, more than five thousand Americans die from hepatitis B-related liver complications each year. In many Asian and African countries where the HBV is endemic, up to 20% of the population may be carriers, and transmission occurs primarily through perinatal or early childhood infection. In some of these areas, the perinatal transmission rate may be as high as 90%!1–4
During the last 10 years, hepatitis B treatment has made significant progresses. For example, two biologics have been approved by the FDA, namely, interferon-α (IFN-α) and Pegylated-interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α). Also on the market are five small molecule antiviral agents for the treatment of chronic HBV, namely, entecavir (1), lamivudine (2), telbivudine (3), adefovir dipivoxil (4), and tenofovir (5).
As a biologic, INF-α is effective only in a subset of patients, is often poorly tolerated, requires parenteral administration, and is expensive. Hence, there is a need for alternative therapies for chronic hepatitis B. The introduction of lamivudine (2) in 1995, the first oral treatment for chronic HBV, ushered in a new era in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B when safe, effective, and well-tolerated oral medications were made available. It is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with activity against both human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HBV. It has been used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B at a lower dose than for the treatment of HIV, and it improves the seroconversion of e-antigen-positive hepatitis B and also improves histology staging of the liver. Unfortunately, long-term use of lamivudine (2) leads to emergence of a resistant HBV mutant (Tyr-Met-Asp-Asp, YMDD). Despite this fact, lamivudine (2) is still used widely as it is well tolerated.5
Telbivudine (3), a synthetic thymidine nucleoside analog, is the unmodified L-enantiomer of the naturally occurring D-thymidine. It prevents HBV DNA synthesis by acting as an HBV polymerase inhibitor. Within hepatocytes, telbivudine (3) is phosphorylated by host cell kinase to telbivudine-5′-triphosphate which, once incorporated into HBV DNA, causes DNA chain termination, thus inhibiting HBV replication. In this sense, telbivudine (3), like most nucleotide antiviral drugs, is a prodrug. Clinical trials have shown telbivudine (3) to be significantly more effective than lamivudine (2) or adefovir dipivoxil (4) and less likely to cause resistance.6
Adefovir dipivoxil (4) was initially developed as a treatment for HIV, but the FDA in 1999 rejected the drug due to concerns about the severity and frequency of kidney toxicity when dosed at 60 or 120 mg, respectively. However, 4 was effective at a much lower dose of 10 mg for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults with evidence of active viral replication and either evidence of persistent elevations in serum alanine aminotransferases (primarily ALT) or histologically active disease. It works by blocking reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that is crucial for the HBV to reproduce in the body. Overall, the efficacy of 4 against wild-type and lamivudine (2)-resistant HBV and the delayed emergence of 4-resistance during monotherapy contribute to the durable safety and efficacy observed in a wide range of chronic hepatitis B patients.7
Tenofovir (5), a nucleotide analog closely related to adefovir dipivoxil (4) has been approved for the treatment of HBV in 2008, subsequent to its approval for the treatment of HIV infection in 2006. In vitro studies showed that it has activity against HBV with equimolar potency to 4. Clinical studies confirmed the efficacy of 5 in suppressing HBV replication, and it appears to be equally effective against both wild-type and lamivudine (2)-resistant HBV. The role of 5 in the rapidly expanding armamentarium of hepatitis B treatments will depend on the demonstration of long-term safety (renal and skeletal) and efficacy against wild-type HBV and HBV mutants that involve substitution of methionine within the YMDD motif, as well as a very low rate of resistance in NA-naïve as well as NA-experienced patients.8–10 NA stands for nucleos(t)ide analog.
