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".

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.

Book Description
In recent years there has been increasing evidence of the importance of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates in biomedical applications, and the use of synthetic ligands based on carbohydrates as drugs has received much attention. Focussing on drug discovery from key targets and placing an emphasis on the multi-disciplinary approaches necessary to challenge these issues, this book comprehensively covers the new and recent discoveries in the area of carbohydrate drug discovery. Carbohydrates in Drug Design and Discovery is split into five sections, beginning with a introduction and perspective on the current market. The book then goes on to discuss new synthetic methods in glycobiology, the use of glycobiology in chemical biology and glycobiology in drug discovery. Providing a worldwide perspective on this broad area, and providing examples of therapeutics already developed using these methods, this book provides a comprehensive introduction, discussion and update on this fast developing field for medicinal chemists and biochemists working in industry and academia.

Carbohydrates 2018
Author: Amélia Pilar Rauter
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039283162
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
This book contains original papers and reviews on carbohydrate research in medicine, authored by participants of the 29th International Carbohydrate Symposium, where this topic had a special emphasis. The focus on biological events involving carbohydrates and glycoconjugates has delivered reliable approaches for disease treatment and diagnosis. Research on carbohydrate-based compounds for therapeutic applications is illustrated in various contributions, namely those covering the development of novel agents against Alzheimer’s disease, e.g. the neuroprotective C-glucosylated flavones and the isonucleoside-based cholinesterase inhibitors. New imino sugar glucosidase inhibitors are also disclosed, a class of compounds with potential for diabetes, Gaucher disease or cancer treatment. Also the development of a useful synthetic method towards multivalent glycoclusters of biomedical interest is here highlighted. The relevance of glycomimetics in drug discovery and the progress on carbohydrates in early diagnosis and cancer treatment are reviewed. Noteworthy is the chitosan-based delivery system for drug oral administration, a new biomaterial-based approach to improve bioavailability. Another study on the conformation of Streptococcus capsular polysaccharide backbones by molecular modelling provides useful information for bacterial immunotherapeutic approaches. All original contributions and reviews clearly demonstrate the potential of glycosciences for innovation in medicinal (glyco)chemistry and pharmaceutical research.

Transforming Glycoscience
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309260868
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
A new focus on glycoscience, a field that explores the structures and functions of sugars, promises great advances in areas as diverse as medicine, energy generation, and materials science, this report finds. Glycans-also known as carbohydrates, saccharides, or simply as sugars-play central roles in many biological processes and have properties useful in an array of applications. However, glycans have received little attention from the research community due to a lack of tools to probe their often complex structures and properties. Transforming Glycoscience: A Roadmap for the Future presents a roadmap for transforming glycoscience from a field dominated by specialists to a widely studied and integrated discipline, which could lead to a more complete understanding of glycans and help solve key challenges in diverse fields.
