Fragment-Based Drug Discovery, Hardback Book

Fragment-Based Drug Discovery Hardback

Edited by Steven (Astex Therapeutics Ltd., UK) Howard, Chris (University of Cambridge, UK) Abell

Part of the Drug Discovery series

Hardback

Description

Fragment-based drug discovery is a rapidly evolving area of research, which has recently seen new applications in areas such as epigenetics, GPCRs and the identification of novel allosteric binding pockets.

The first fragment-derived drug was recently approved for the treatment of melanoma.

It is hoped that this approval is just the beginning of the many drugs yet to be discovered using this fascinating technique.

This book is written from a Chemist's perspective and comprehensively assesses the impact of fragment-based drug discovery on a wide variety of areas of medicinal chemistry.

It will prove to be an invaluable resource for medicinal chemists working in academia and industry, as well as anyone interested in novel drug discovery techniques.
