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.
