9780081012420 English 008101242X Drug discovery is an expensive, time-consuming process and the modern drug discovery community is constantly challenged not only with discovering novel bioactive agents to combat resistance from known diseases and fight against new ones, but to do so in a way that is economically effective. Advances in both experimental and theoretical/computational methods envisage that the greatest challenges in drug discovery can be most successfully addressed by using a multi-scale approach, drawing on the specialties of a whole host of different disciplines. Multi-Scale Approaches to Drug Discovery furnishes chemists with the detail they need to identify drug leads with the highest potential before isolating and synthesizing them to produce effective drugs with greater swiftness than classical methods may allow. This significantly speeds up the search for more efficient therapeutic agents. After an introduction to multi-scale approaches outlining the need for and benefits of their use, the book goes on to explore a range of useful techniques and research areas, and their potential applications to this process. Activity cliffs in drug discovery, computational biology in drug discovery and the use of a novel multitasking chemo-bioinformatic models to speed up the discovery of potent and safer antibacterial peptides are all discussed, before the book goes on to review drug and gene delivery, Nano-QSAR in drug discovery, medicinal chemistry and computational approaches in peptide discovery and the design of multi-target drugs/ligands against neurodegenerative disorders. A study in multitasking chemoinformatic models follows, with a further discussion of polypharmacology. Complex networks for analyzing and studying biochemical pathways and in combination with QSAR approaches are then explored, before the book concludes with a review of medicinal chemistry of therapeutic agents against neglected diseases, and natural products as constant sources of efficient chemotherapeutic agents. Collecting together reviews and original research contributions written by leading experts in the field, Multi-Scale Approaches to Drug Discovery highlights cutting-edge approaches and practical examples of their implementation for those involved in the drug discovery process at many different levels. Using the combined knowledge of medicinal, computational, pharmaceutical and bio- chemists, it aims to support growth in the multi-scale approach to promote greater success in the development of new drugs. Offers practical guidance on ways to implement multi-scale approaches for increased efficiency in drug discovery Draws on the experience of a highly skilled team of authors under the editorial guidance of one of the fields leading experts Includes cutting-edge techniques at the forefront of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery optimization, Multi-Scale Approaches in Drug Discovery, Multi-Scale Approaches to Drug Discovery: From Empirical Knowledge to In Silico Experiments and Back furnishes chemists with the detail they need to identify drug leads with the highest potential before isolating and synthesizing them to produce effective drugs with greater swiftness than classical methods may allow.
