Preface to the First Edition
The era of pharmacology, the science concerned with the understanding of drug action, began only about 150 yearsago when Rudolf Buchheim established the first pharmacological laboratory in Dorpat (now, Tartu, Estonia). Sincethen, pharmacology has always been a lively discipline with “open borders”, reaching out not only to other lifesciences such as physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and clinical medicine, but also to chemistry and physics.In a rather successful initial phase, pharmacologists devoted their time to describing drug actions either at the singleorgan level or on an entire organism. Over the last few decades, however, research has focused on the molecularmechanisms by which drugs exert their effects. Here, cultured cells or even cell-free systems have served as models.As a consequence, our knowledge of the molecular basis of drug actions has increased enormously. The aim ofEncyclopedic Reference of Molecular Pharmacology is to cover this rapidly developing field.
The reductionist approach described above has made it increasingly important to relate the molecular processesunderlying drug actions to the drug effect on the level of an organ or whole organism. Only this integrated view willallow the full understanding and prediction of drug actions, and enable a rational approach to drug development. Onthe molecular or even atomic level, new disciplines such as bioinformatics and structural biology have evolved.They have gained major importance within the field but are particularly relevant for the rational development anddesign of new drugs. Finally, the availability of the complete genome sequence of an increasing number of speciesprovides a basis for systematic, genome-wide pharmacological research aimed at the identification of new drugtargets and individualised drug treatment (pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics). All these aspects areconsidered in this encyclopedia.
The main goal of the Encyclopedia is to provide up-to-date information on the molecular mechanisms of drugaction. Leading experts in the field have provided 159 essays, which form the core structure of this publication.
Most of the essays describe groups of drugs and drug targets, with the emphasis not only on already exploited drugtargets, but also on potential drug targets as well. Several essays deal with the more general principles ofpharmacology, such as drug tolerance, drug addiction or drug metabolism. Others portray important cellularprocesses or pathological situations and describe how they can be influenced by drugs. The essays arecomplemented by more than 1600 keywords, for which links are provided. By looking up the keywords or titles ofessays highlighted in each essay, the reader can obtain further information on the subject. The alphabetical order ofentries makes the Encyclopedia very easy to use and helps the reader to search successfully. In addition, the namesof authors are listed alphabetically, together with the title of their essay, to allow a search by author name.
Apart from very few exceptions, the entries in the main text do not contain drug names in their titles. Instead, drugsthat are commonly used all over the world are listed in the Appendix. Also included in the Appendix are fourextensive sections that contain tables listing proteins such as receptors, transporters or ion channels, which are ofparticular interest as drug targets or modulators of drug action.
The Encyclopedia provides valuable information for readers with different expectations and backgrounds (fromscientists, students and lecturers to informed lay-people) and fills the gap between pharmacology textbooks andspecialized reviews.
All the contributing authors as well as the editors have taken great care to provide up-to-date information. However,inconsistencies or errors may remain, for which we assume full responsibility. We welcome comments, suggestionsor corrections and look forward to a stimulating dialog with the readers of the Encyclopedic Reference of MolecularPharmacology whether their comments concern the content of an individual entry or the entire concept.
We are indebted to our colleagues for their excellent contributions. It has been a great experience, both personallyand scientifically, to interact with and learn from the 200 plus contributing authors. We would also like to thankMs. Hana Deuchert andMs. Katharina Schmalfeld for their excellent and invaluable secretarial assistance during allthe stages of this project. Within Springer-Verlag, we are grateful to Dr. Thomas Mager for suggesting the project andto Frank Krabbes for his technical expertise. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Claudia Langefor successfully managing the project and for her encouraging support. It has been a pleasure to work with her.

Preface to the Second Edition
The first edition of the Encyclopedic Reference of Molecular Pharmacologywas well received by its readers, thanksto the excellent work done by the authors, of whom most have contributed to the second edition as well. The basicstructure of the Encyclopedia has remained unchanged. It is primarily based on essays, which have been updated,and their number has been increased to 225 to include many new exciting areas. These essays cover important drugsand drug targets, but also general principles of pharmacology as well as cellular processes and pathologicalsituations which are relevant for drug action. In addition, there are about xy key words linked to the essays. TheEncyclopedia is complemented by an Appendix, which has been greatly enlarged, listing more than 700 drugs andmore than 4,000 proteins that act as receptors, membrane transport proteins, transcription factors, enzymes oradhesion molecules.
During the preparation, we greatly enjoyed the interaction with all our colleagues who contributed to this referencework. It has been a pleasure and an enriching experience to deal with so many facets of pharmacology. We are verythankful to the contributing authors for the careful updating of their essays, and, in particular, we would like toexpress our gratitude to the more than xy new authors who have written excellent essays on novel topics. Finally, wewould like to thank Dr. Michaela Bilic and Simone Giesler from Springer for their enthusiasm throughout theproject and their constant support.
