| Book Description | Providing insight into where the next generations of drugs are likely to emerge, this book describes the pharmacology of therapeutically undefined targets and potential applications. In some cases, there are no defined drugs to modulate some of the targets, and in other cases inhibition or activation will render different therapeutic uses. Chapters cover specific biochemical targets like kinases, phosphatases, phosphodiesterases, and potassium channels. Because different diseases can require their own targeting strategies, the book has chapters on the strategies for targeting Alzheimer's, diabetes, pain, and inflammation. |
| Editorial Review | In summary, there are a number of well-written and constructed, comprehensive monographs that will be of interest to experts. (ChemMedChem, 1 March 2013) The degree to which an integrated, unified, and visionary perspective emerges across the book is limited. Nonetheless, individual chapters are likely to be very useful to readers in that specific research area. The book certainly offers descriptions of several active target development approaches and application of such approaches in specific biological systems. (Doody s, 1 March 2013) |
