Book Description
Carbohydrate Mimics Concepts and Methods Edited by Yves Chapleur Apart from the various functions of carbohydrates in natural processes they are important building blocks for drugs, especially antibiotics. In addition, carbohydrates are considered as important structures in the immunological recognition process of the antigen-antibody reaction. The modification of the structure and thereby the chemistry of substrates is a common procedure in nature. This naturally occurring process is reflected in the concept of molecular mimicry, which has become a useful approach in drug discovery. The search for carbohydrate analogues that exhibit better binding activity, biological activity, and stability began with the synthesis of azasugars. A lot of structural modifications around the anomeric center of carbohydrates has been achieved over the last decade, and these are summarized in terms of the different chemical and biological aspects of carbohydrate mimics in one part of this book. In addition to the well established fields of C-glycosides, azasugars and carbasugars the other part of the book focusses on outstanding achievements in carbohydrate mimic research. Everybody who is active in carbohydrate research or is interested in moving into this exciting field will benefit from this up-to-date source of informations. The leading experts in this field describe their scientific approaches to real interdisciplinary puzzles. This book should be an inspiration to scientists in organic, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, and biology.

Category : Science
Languages : de
Pages : 520
Book Description
Die Suche nach Medikamenten mit neuen oder verbesserten Eigenschaften hat das Interesse am pharmazeutischen Potenzial von Kohlenhydraten enorm verstärkt. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Entwicklung von Antibiotika, Impfstoffen und Anti-Krebs-Mitteln. Carbohydrate-based Drug Discovery stellt mit mehr als 50 Beiträgen der weltweit führenden Experten die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Kohlenhydrat- und Biochemie vor. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt der Darstellung auf der pharmazeutischen Anwendung. In jüngster Zeit sind wirksame, auf Kohlenhydraten basierende Medikamente gegen HIV, Grippe, Epilepsie, Diabetes und Krebs auf den Markt gekommen bzw. werden in Studien klinisch erprobt. Doch das gesamte Potenzial dieser Substanzklasse kann man bislang wohl nur erahnen. Die pharmazeutische Industrie investiert bereits große Summen in die Forschung und Entwicklung. So kommt dieses Handbuch genau zur richtigen Zeit. Umfassend und kompetent behandelt es den gesamten Bereich der Kohlenhydratchemie. Es führt ein in die chemische Synthese, in Biosynthese und Metabolismus und informiert über die Analyse und die zellulären Funktionen von Kohlenhydraten. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet die Entwicklung von Medikamenten auf Kohlenhydrat-Basis, wie z.B. synthetischer Impfstoffe oder Thrombosemittel auf Basis synthetischer Oligosaccharide. Erschlossen wird das mit einem umfangreichen bibliographischen Anhang versehene Werk durch einen thematischen Index. Sein Herausgeber, Chi-Huey Wong, hat bereits mehrere internationale Preise für sein wissenschaftliches Werk erhalten, darunter den "Presidential Award" und den "Presidential Young Investigator Award".

ISBN: 1849734763
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
In this volume, glycochemistry and glycobiology have been combined to demonstrate the contribution of organic chemistry, modern analytics, biological and biochemical expertise to the increasingly important field of glycomincs. A polysaccharide immunomodulator with therapeutic implications, carbohydrate vaccines, new findings emphasizing the influence of carbohydrate decoration on the regulation of inflammatory response and new therapeutic approaches in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, recent approachesin the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, recent progress on glycoengineering based on a glycosylation, and key aspects of the glycosylation changes associated with bladder cancer are amongst the subjects presented in this volume. The contribution of glycochemistry to innovation in glycosciences is shown with chapters covering highly functionalized exo-glycals for the generation of molecular diversity in a chemoselective manner, imino sugar glycosidase inhibitors, carbasugars, multivalent glycoconjugates, including glycodendrimers, glyconanotubes, and glyconanoparticles, and their uses in medicinal chemistry, as well as artificial saccharide-based and saccharide functionalized gene delivery systems. Siderphores based on monosaccharides (which have proven effective for Gram-negative bacteria and mycobacteria), and the so-called smart materials, (which can modulate and control cell behaviour), complete the volume. Volume 38 of Carbohydrate Chemistry - Chemical and Biological Apporaches contains contributions ranging from glycochemistry to glycobiology. This collection demonstrates in a meaningful way how the interdisciplinary approach of an international glyconetwork can advance the field of carbohydrate research in Europe and worldwide.

Carbohydrate-spiro-heterocycles
Author: László Somsák
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030319423
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
This volume is devoted to compounds in which the spiro centre is part of a pyranoid or furanoid or an iminosugar ring. The chapters contributed deal with methodological peculiarities of syntheses of natural and artificial sugar derived spirocycles as well as their biological applications and other utilities including marketed drugs. Carbohydrates are ubiquitous molecules in nature and participate in a vast number of biological interactions. Especially their conjugates with practically all kinds of primary and secondary metabolic small molecules (and also biomacromolecules) representing valuable tools for glycobiology research and also lead compounds for drug discovery. While monosaccharides per se appear as heterocycles, their natural conjugates frequently exhibit spiro(hetero)cyclic derivatives, in many cases of high therapeutical relevance. As a consequence, the field of carbohydrate-spiro-heterocycles attracts intense interest from both chemical and biomedical aspects therefore this volume will be of interest for synthetic and medicinal chemists and (glyco)biologists, as well as researchers involved in various biomedical fields.

Carbohydrates as Drugs
Author: Peter H. Seeberger
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319086758
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Medicinal chemistry is both science and art. The science of medicinal chemistry offers mankind one of its best hopes for improving the quality of life. The art of medicinal chemistry continues to challenge its practitioners with the need for both intuition and experience to discover new drugs. Hence sharing the experience of drug research is uniquely beneficial to the field of medicinal chemistry. Drug research requires interdisciplinary team-work at the interface between chemistry, biology and medicine. Therefore, the topic-related series Topics in Medicinal Chemistry covers all relevant aspects of drug research, e.g. pathobiochemistry of diseases, identification and validation of (emerging) drug targets, structural biology, drugability of targets, drug design approaches, chemogenomics, synthetic chemistry including combinatorial methods, bioorganic chemistry, natural compounds, high-throughput screening, pharmacological in vitro and in vivo investigations, drug-receptor interactions on the molecular level, structure-activity relationships, drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, toxicology and pharmacogenomics. In general, special volumes are edited by well known guest editors.
