Protein Kinase Inhibitors: From Discovery to Therapeutics. This item is unavailable.Protein Kinase Inhibitors: From Discovery to Therapeutics

Protein Kinase Inhibitors: From Discovery to Therapeutics offers a foundational, pragmatic overview of protein kinases inhibitors and their potential role in disease modulation and treatment. Here, international experts in the field offer an integrated discussion of kinase inhibitor biology, biomarker discovery, and methods for drug design and development. After a brief overview of kinases and kinase inhibitors, subsequent chapters discuss individual kinases that are representative of the wider kinases and kinase families, including their roles in disease pathogenesis, underlying mechanisms, potential inhibitors and their modes of action for therapeutic modulation.

Several potential drugs under different stages of clinical trials are discussed, including their relevance to cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, neurological, and auto-immune and inflammatory disease, among other disorders. The book also addresses the challenges and opportunities for future kinase inhibitor development.

• Provides a thorough overview of kinase inhibitor biology and its role in disease progression and modulation
• Examines protein kinase inhibitor drugs in various stages of clinical trials and development
• Offers methods and protocols for protein kinase inhibitor research studies and drug design and development
• Includes chapter contributions from international leaders in the field
