Book description
A comprehensive look at current drug discovery and development
methods-and the roadmap for the future
Providing both understanding and guidance in characterizing potential
drugs and their production and synthesis, Development of
Therapeutic Agents Handbook gives professionals a basic tool to
facilitate research and development within this challenging process.
This comprehensive text brings together, in one resource, a compendium
of concepts, approaches, methodologies, and limitations that need to
be considered in the formulation of therapeutic agents across a range
of therapeutic fields. Both a reference and a call to action for the
pharmaceutical industry, Development of Therapeutic Agents
Handbook examines recent innovations taking shape in the various
medical disciplines involved in drug discovery, and shows why these
advances need to be embraced universally among researchers to improve
their solution strategies. Additional subject matter includes:
-
Extensive coverage and in-depth look into novel treatments and therapeutics
-
Discussion of hot topics like new drugs and nutraceuticals, the
discovery and development of vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and
market overviews
-
Coverage of therapeutic drug development for specific disease
areas, such as cardiology, oncology, breast cancer, and kidney diseases
As research in biology, chemistry, medicine, and technology rapidly
progresses, it is becoming increasingly important for medical
researchers to maintain an up-to-date knowledge base of emerging
trends directing promising new therapies. Development of
Therapeutic Agents Handbook serves this purpose, acting as both
a one-stop reference rich in valid science, and a tool to carve out
new pathways in the pursuit of bringing safer and more effective drugs
to the marketplace.
