Enzyme inhibitors are fundamental in medicinal chemistry, serving as the foundation for many drugs. They work by blocking specific enzymes to treat diseases. Techniques like rational drug design, high-throughput screening, and virtual screening are key in finding these inhibitors. The text delves into the methods of discovery, optimization, and the iterative nature of developing new therapeutic agents that target disease-related enzymes.
