Fragment-Based Drug Discovery (RSC Drug Discovery)

by Steven HowardnFragment-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.nThis 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.nProduct DetailsnnnnISBN-13:n9781849739085nnnnPublisher:nRoyal Society of Chemistry, ThennnnPublication date:n07/03/2015nnnnSeries:nRSC Drug Discovery Series, #47nnnnPages:n264
