Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Advances in Medicinal Chemistry Research is a book addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students, where recent advances in the discovery and development of effective agents against the most remarkable wide-reaching diseases are presented, divided into seven chapters. This first edition of Advances in Medicinal Chemistry Research offers insights into medicinal chemistry that arguably have the most significant impact on our lives than any other. It draws together research on therapeutic agents from natural, synthetic, and virtual screening sources as starting points for the design of drugs against obesity, multidrug-resistant bacteria, neglected tropical diseases, Alzheimer, and cancer. From the prediction of promising hits and identification of active compounds to the extraction of more complex molecules, this book explores a range of essential topics to support the development of novel, economical, and efficacious therapeutics for these diseases, which currently affect a billion people worldwide. Beginning with an overview of obesity, showing the current research landscape, the books shows the importance of natural and synthetic products as promising anti-obesity agents. Subsequently, the medicinal chemistry of modulation of bacterial resistance is presented, focusing on the MFS, RND, ABC, and MATE superfamilies. The book goes on to discuss such topics as antituberculosis, antileishmanial, and anti-hepatitis thiophene-containing compounds, under the medicinal chemistry point of view. Also, potent human glutaminyl cyclase inhibitors are deeply discussed and displayed as hopeful anti-Alzheimer's agents. The last three chapters are focused on the development of researches involving new anticancer agents, initializing with LBDD, SBDD, QSAR, and QM/MM methods applied to the identification of novel promising anticancer compounds. Moreover, IDO1 inhibitors are exhaustively explored and analyzed as a new promise for the immunotherapy of cancer. Finally, a great update on Eg5 kinesin inhibitors is provided, exploring different chemical classes of synthetic and natural compounds, including miscellanea as a new approach for Eg5 inhibition. Combining the expertise of researchers from around the world, this volume aims to support and encourage researches for the development of novel, safe, and active agents against lipase enzyme, bacteria, neglected tropical diseases, Alzheimer, and cancer. The clear narrative truly engages the reader, holding their attention right from the opening of a chapter, and maintaining interest and understanding as a chapter leads into more complex material. Advances in Medicinal Chemistry Research is a book that reviews ongoing developments and recent cutting-edge advances in medicinal chemistry of the most relevant diseases found nowadays, underlining how medicinal chemistry research continues to make significant contributions to the discovery and development of new therapeutic entities. Key Features â¢Chapters written by active specialists and leading experts deeply engaged in the research field of most deadly and limiting diseases for drug discovery. â¢Draws together cutting-edge research advances in medicinal chemistry focused at the obesity, multidrug-resistant microorganisms, Alzheimer, and cancer in a single volume. â¢Highlights the future potential of researches for the medicinal chemistry of most impactful diseases today. â¢Contents addressed to medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and pharmacy students, professors, and researchers.

Bioisosteres in Medicinal Chemistry
Author: Nathan Brown
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527654321
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Written with the practicing medicinal chemist in mind, this is the first modern handbook to systematically address the topic of bioisosterism. As such, it provides a ready reference on the principles and methods of bioisosteric replacement as a key tool in preclinical drug development. The first part provides an overview of bioisosterism, classical bioisosteres and typical molecular interactions that need to be considered, while the second part describes a number of molecular databases as sources of bioisosteric identification and rationalization. The third part covers the four key methodologies for bioisostere identification and replacement: physicochemical properties, topology, shape, and overlays of protein-ligand crystal structures. In the final part, several real-world examples of bioisosterism in drug discovery projects are discussed. With its detailed descriptions of databases, methods and real-life case studies, this is tailor-made for busy industrial researchers with little time for reading, while remaining easily accessible to novice drug developers due to its systematic structure and introductory section.

Accounts in Drug Discovery
Author: Joel Barrish
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1849731268
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Accounts in Drug Discovery describes recent case studies in medicinal chemistry with a particular emphasis on how the inevitable problems that arise during any project can be surmounted or overcome. The Editors cover a wide range of therapeutic areas and medicinal chemistry strategies, including lead optimization starting from high-throughput screening "hits" as well as rational, structure-based design. The chapters include "follow-ons" and "next generation" compounds that aim to improve upon first-generation agents. This volume surveys the range of challenges commonly faced by medicinal chemistry researchers, including the optimization of metabolism and pharmacokinetics, toxicology, pharmaceutics and pharmacology, including proof-of-concept in the clinic for novel biological targets. The case studies include medicinal chemistry stories on recently approved and marketed drugs, but also chronicle "near-misses," i.e. exemplary compounds that may have proceeded well into the clinic but for various reasons did not result in a successful registration. As the vast majority of projects fail prior to registration, much can be learned from such narratives. By sharing a wide range of drug discovery experiences and information across the community of medicinal chemists in both industry and academia, the Editors believe that these accounts will provide insights into the art of medicinal chemistry as it is currently practiced and will help to serve the needs of active medicinal chemists.
