This practical reference for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists combines the theoretical background with modern methods as well as applications from recent lead finding and optimization projects. Divided into two parts on the thermodynamics and kinetics of drug-receptor interaction, the text provides the conceptual and methodological basis for characterizing binding mechanisms for drugs and other bioactive molecules. It covers all currently used methods, from experimental approaches, such as ITC or SPR, right up to the latest computational methods. Case studies of real-life lead or drug development projects are also included so readers can apply the methods learned to their own projects. Finally, the benefits of a thorough binding mode analysis for any drug development project are summarized in an outlook chapter written by the editors.
This interdisciplinary reference identifies and elucidates the most influential developments in chemical genomics for improved research and advancement in a diverse array of fields ranging from proteomics, bioinformatics, and microfluidics to drug discovery and toxicology. The book tracks the emergence of a large variety of novel techniques such as the small-molecule drugability of new targets, the generation and synthesis of small-molecule libraries, and the determination of targets and mechanisms by genomic profiling and guides readers in the selection of the most appropriate technology for their specific dilemma by highlighting procedures utilized in other scientific disciplines.
This title covers a wide range of topics relevant to the development of drugs. It provides a comprehensive description of the major methodological strategies available for rational drug discovery.
Practical guide to navigate problems involved with promiscuous ligands and multi-target drug discovery, supported by case studies and real examples Polypharmacology covers the two-sided nature of polypharmacology: its relevance for adverse drug effects, as well as its benefit for certain therapeutic drug classes in effectively treating complex diseases like psychosis and cancer. The book provides practical guidelines and advice to help readers design drugs that have multiple targets while minimizing unwanted off-target effects, discusses important disease areas like viral infection, diabetes, and obesity that have advanced significantly in the last decade, and guides researchers in neighbori...
